Hello, I am a 25 year old active woman. For the last 3 days I have been craving orange juice. I am not pregnant. I have a history of diabetes in my family, but other than that there are no medical problem. What could be the cause of this odd craving. Help

I had the same thing last week so I bought an orange juice. People just crave certain things that they like every once and awhile. It could also be due to PMS. Because for the last couple of days I've been wanting to eat something sweet.
Or if you look it up on line.
An enormous percentage of women crave sugar, carbohydrates, or alcohol. In most cases, these food cravings are not true eating disorders, but instead are signs of hormonal imbalance caused by a lack of healthy nutrition.
Your personal issue may be the afternoon snack (often chocolate or candy or a food that’s also heavy in carbohydrates), too many potato chips, the extra glass of wine at night, or a hundred other variations. But the underlying mechanism, and the way to curb cravings, is the same. And it has nothing to do with willpower, or your lack thereof

Is the weather quite warm were you are? Perhaps you are craving the potassium that is in OJ.

You could be lacking some of the nutrience in the OJ, or you might not be drinking enough of it. OJ once in a while is good. Other than that......i dont know.

Double check your blood sugar & a prego test... The mind is a weird thing though. . . maybe just a craving.

Could it just be that's what you're craving for this month? (You know how you crave different things before or during your period)

Everybody has cravings. It is probably normal.

Some people have cravings when they have vitamin or mineral deficiencies
