The desire to bite chalk or other inedible things can be associated with a deficiency of minerals (for example, iron or calcium) in the body. However, this is dangerous due to the content of harmful impurities and damage to dental enamel. There are much safer alternatives.
They imitate the texture of the chalk and do not harm health:
- Slumed ice cream
Light and air pieces with a rich creamy taste are melting in the mouth, like snowflakes. Despite the unusual appearance, they retain all the sweetness and aroma of cold dessert.
- Frozen fruits and berries
Useful and delicious replacement. They are pleasantly crunching in their mouths, helping to cope with the obsessive desire to chew chalk. But do not bite too sharply – so you can damage your teeth. Better let them melt slightly.
- Sweets in the form of stones
Sold on marketplaces and are popular with connoisseurs of unusual sweets. Judging by the reviews, such sweets are quite solid. They are really similar to real stones.
If the craving for inedible remains, you should consult a doctor and take tests. Perhaps the body signals the hidden deficiency of nutrients.
Earlier it was reported which products cannot be strictly freezed.
