Thoughts - should we avoid? Better to sub for more veg, rice or potatoes right?

Anyone have any fun recipes in mind?

many times I feel like I want something more to satisfy me after eating lots of fresh melons or citrus, so I turn to dates and then I crave salt. It’s not all the time but I wonder if it has to do with not getting enough electrolytes/sodium to water ratio.

I do not drink much juice or make any juice, but I do eat high raw. Would these be a good option for hydration?
