NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES CAUSES CRAVINGS?

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Cravings are defined as intense, urgent or abnormal desires or longings. Not only are they very common, but they’re also arguably one of the most intense feelings you can experience when it comes to food. Some believe that cravings are caused by nutrient deficiencies and view them as the body’s way to correct them. Yet others insist that, unlike hunger, cravings are largely about what your brain wants, rather than what your body actually needs. Call our International Call Center (+351) 21 458 […]

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND HEALTHY EATING

THERE’S NOTHING BETTER THAN WATER

By: | Tags:

TIP OF THE DAY of our nutritionist Dr. Tomás Barbosa: Whether you prefer soda, coffee, or beer, the biggest reason you love your beverage of choice isn’t because of the way it tastes. No, according to researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago, your drink preferences may be the result of the “reward” you feel when you drink them. In other words, you’re drawn to certain beverages for the way they make you feel, not for the way they taste. So, better stick to plain water. It’s the most natural and […]
