Preventing Alcohol Cravings
Ed Philips
Although there do exist links between what you actually eat and cravings for alcohol, the food issue is not a shortcut in helping us to stop drinking alcohol as other changes such as medical treatment and dietary supplements are necessary.
There is quite a lot of research that backs up the fact that nutritional supplements do have a beneficial effect when people stop drinking alcohol. To just give you a better idea, it has been established that the B-complex vitamins as well vitamins A, C, D and E really do make a difference during alcohol withdrawal.
Another important finding has been that cutting out sugar and caffeine can also reduce cravings for alcohol. When we refer to sugars, we also mean desserts, cakes, candy and fizzy drinks. Fruit and juices should also been taken in small doses and cut back on your sugar in tea and coffee.
Caffeine too needs to be cut right out of the diet meaning no less then zero tea and coffee (unless it is decaf), and just to add insult to injury chocolate is also on the list, so just a couple of squares if you get really desperate. Funnily enough it has been proved that simple sugars and caffeine affect the blood sugar regulation and that if we are able to control the blood sugar level, we will actually reduce the alcohol (sugar) SS cravings. In a nutshell, if you are able to forget about caffeine and sugar then you are on the road to reducing alcohol craving.
You mustn't forget that your diet must not be affected with all those reductions and make sure you manage to get in as many nutrient-rich foods as possible. You will need all the strength you can get both mentally and physically to keep on track and also internally just so your liver is able to deal with the detoxification processes.
>From our point of view the only way to achieve a complete nutrient rich diet is to eat as healthy as possible as these the food that most contain the all important nutrients. Another reason for this is that alcohol depletes our body's nutrients so we need to stock up again and get back into being healthy again.
