When you crave certain things, like salty or sweet foods, your body is telling you something. For example, you might be lacking essential vitamins or minerals, or have some other chemical imbalance that should be checked.
Fatty and sugary foods are "feel good" types of foods.
Salty foods could indicate a fluid imbalance in your system, as weird as that may sound, and might indicate a renal or thyroid problem.
I think most people have fairly simple, controllable cravings. But, if they get out of hand, it may warrant a trip to the doctor to see if there is some underlying health issue that requires attention.
