🌿 What Your Cravings Say About Your Health 🍫🍟🌶️ In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), food cravings aren’t just random—they signal which organs are weak and need support. If you're constantly craving a certain taste, your body is telling you something! 🔹 Sweet Cravings 🍬 → Weak Stomach & Spleen A weak spleen struggles to digest food and create energy. Support it with warm, cooked meals, root vegetables, and easy-to-digest grains like rice and oats. Avoid too much raw or cold food. 🔹 Salty Cravings 🧂 → Weak Kidneys The kidneys regulate water balance and energy. If you crave salt, nourish them with black sesame, walnuts, bone broth, and kidney-supporting herbs. Reduce caffeine and stay warm. 🔹 Sour Cravings 🍋 → Weak Liver & Gallbladder Your liver manages emotions and detoxification. Craving sour foods? Try lemon water, fermented foods, and dark leafy greens to help clear stagnation and support liver function. 🔹 Spicy Cravings 🌶️ → Weak Lungs & Large Intestine Spicy food helps open the lungs, but too much can create imbalance. Strengthen your lungs with pears, honey, and warm soups, and support digestion with fiber-rich foods. 🔹 Bitter Cravings ☕🍫 → Weak Heart & Small Intestine Bitter foods like dark chocolate, coffee, and alcohol stimulate circulation, but if you crave them often, your heart may need support. Balance it with red dates, goji berries, and heart-strengthening herbs. Listen to your cravings—but nourish your body wisely! 🌱✨
