Craving salt

Alex
Hey guys, I just started my period today and am craving salt and fried chicken😂 Never in my life have a had such a huge craving during my period. Is this normal? Also is there a meaning behind this? Does my body need a larger salt intake right now? I'm trying to watch what I eat (yay spring break) so if I could stay away from potato chips and chicken strips that would be great 😂
