Addiced To Ice??!!?
Question:
Answers:
It sounds like an Iron deficiency. I can't really explain why those with low iron crave ice...but it is a sign that your body needs more iron. Go to GNC or a supermarket and look for an iron supplement. Please be careful, as taking too much iron can be fatal. One more thing...chewing or craving ice has absolutely nothing to do with having worms. I've heard that one before and it's ridiculous. You are simply showing signs of iron deficiency...simple as that. If your body needs something, it'll let you know. Good luck, sweetie.
You are low in iron. This is called Pika-you crave ice because you have an iron deficiency. You are probably tired a lot too. Get a good iron supplement(I take Ferrous Sequels) for night and a multi vitamin that has a lot of iron in it for morning. You will be amazed.
start walking around with a huge cup of water. its the same thing and you will still have the comfort of having something there
Throw away the cup, you have an addictive personality! You are not addicted to ice you just love eating ice and have turned that joy into an addiction in your mind. Just throw away the cup. Don't have anymore ice around you.
i used to do that too until my mom said that if u eat ice alot have a chance of getting worms.
ps:i used to take all the trays out of the freezer and eat all the ice and man was i cold...lol
Yes, ice chewing is very bad for your teeth! Have you tried frozen yogurt, sherbit, ice cream? Or perhaps you have vitamin or mineral deficiancy. I recommend going to the doctor for blood tests and a physical. I had the same problem at your age, turned out I was not eating properly and was anemic.
I hope this adivice helps!
Take care~
