Dark Chocolate
Caving something sweet? Get some dark chocolate. It helps reduce blood pressure and protects the heart and brain. More filling than milk chocolate too.

Water
The symptoms of hunger are similar to those of being dehydrated. So next time you're craving an afternoon snack, drink a tall glass of water and wait 10 minutes.
