7. Magnesium

In addition to vitamin B12, cravings for chocolate and other sweets could be a sign of a magnesium deficiency. If your sugary yearnings are paired with irritable or anxious feelings, you could need more of this mineral, which is essential for more than 300 enzyme reactions in the body. To up your magnesium, try eating nuts, seeds, and kale instead of chocolate.
