Chromium Helps Stop Cravings

Sunday, April 19, 2009  -  Byron Richards, CCN

Chromium is a key mineral that assists insulin to transport blood sugar into your cells, and is commonly lacking in individuals with type II diabetes1.  A new study in overweight women found that chromium2 reduced food intake, hunger levels, and fat cravings – while tending to help decrease body weight.  This study shows that chromium is a very good tool to help you eat less food when you are trying to stay on a good eating program.

An earlier study in depressed patients showed that chromium was able to stop severe carbohydrate cravings3.  Once again, chromium shows that it can help keep your appetite in line and your cravings under control.

Also, another interesting study has shown that a combination of grape seed extract and chomium can lower LDL cholesterol Low-density lipoprotein. It is a group of lipids and proteins that allow lipids like cholesterol, triglycerides, and fat soluble nutrients (Vitamin A, D, E , K, Q 10, carotenes) to be transported with the water-based bloodstream. 4.
