Can craving salty snacks be a sign of something going on with your health?

Do you tend to crave salty snacks randomly throughout the day? It is said that craving salty or comforting foods can be a sign of stress. It can also be a sign of calcium deficiency. Sodium temporarily increases calcium which tricks your body into thinking that the deficiency has been satisfied.

If you believe your salty cravings are due to stress or calcium deficiency then I would highly recommend for you to see your doctor and let them know. At the very least look further into it.
