A food craving is not just hunger, rather it is an intense desire to eat a particular food. We tend to crave certain foods more than others. Research has shown that chocolate tops the list of favorites followed by pizza, salty foods such as potato chips and french fries, then sweets, bread, high-protein and fatty foods. Food cravings are also dictated by the time of day, with late afternoon or early evening being the prime period when the "must have" feeling kicks in.

Can a chocolate bar help you live longer? According to the British Medical Journal, if the chocolate is dark, and, better still, packed with healthy almonds, it can contribute to a robust diet rich in antioxidants that can lower your risk of heart disease by over 70 percent, and may just add about six years to your life.
