Do You Crave Ice?

[boatme99]

Do you like to crunch ice? Get cups of ice just to chew?
I found out there's a reason a lot of people like to chew ice. People with low red blood cell counts (anemia) crave ice for some reason.
I'm now anemic and I can't get enough ice. Before the anemia, I never even ordered ice in my drinks.
Now I'd rather chew ice than drink water.
Just an interesting fact.

Lack of iron in system. Therefore, lack of red blood cell. One thing I remember from nutrition class from back in school.

Yup, I thought so. Early onset of rabies. That video proves it.

That's rough on your teeth, chewing ice. I'm a big fan of ice water. It's good with a meal, a pipe, or just to stay hydrated. Sometimes it is way better than beer, wine, etc.

I have to limit my liquid intake to 32 oz a day, a 24 hr day. chewing ice lets me quench my thirst with about 1/2 the intake that drinking water would. I can let ice pieces melt in my mouth and trickle down my throat to quench thirst, rather than gulping water.
