Drink Water
Thirst can be often confused with hunger or food cravings. If you feel a sudden urge for a specific food, you should try drinking a large glass of water and wait it out for just a few moments. You may find that the craving fades away because your body was actually just thirsty.
Even if the itch doesn’t completely go away, the fullness of your stomach will make it less intense. Moreover, drinking plenty of water can have a lot of health benefits. Studies find that drinking water before meals can reduce appetite and help with weight loss in middle-aged and older people.
