I believe that many people have noticed themselves as people who eat non-stop, eat snacks, no matter how many snacks, fruits, or other foods they have, they always grab them and eat them all. They feeling hungry often, hungry all the time, as if no matter how much they eat, they never feel full, never satisfied. Although this does not directly affect their health, being hungry often may be a warning sign of health problems that there may be something wrong with their body. The reasons that make us hungry all the time are as follows:
Frequent hunger due to behavior and lifestyle
Sometimes, our lifestyle (including eating habits) can be the cause of us feeling insatiable, not eating enough, or hungry all the time, such as:
Not eating enough protein,
eating a lot of white flour foods because protein is one of the main nutrients that provide energy to the body (along with carbohydrates and fat). When eaten together in one meal, the body will have energy and feel full. But if you only eat foods that have only carbohydrates or eat white flour foods that have a high proportion of carbohydrates and no dietary fiber, it will cause blood sugar levels to spike and drop quickly, making you feel hungry again.
Not eating enough fat
Many people avoid consuming fat because they think it will make them fat. But in reality, fat is one of the essential nutrients. If you choose to eat only fat-free or low-fat foods, your body may lack good fat, causing you to want to eat foods that are high in carbohydrates and sugar instead.
Eating too little fiber:
Because fiber expands when eaten, it plays a role in controlling hunger. If you eat enough, you will feel full quickly.
Drinking too little water :
Sometimes when you feel hungry, it may not be true hunger, but a feeling of thirst. Drinking water consistently throughout the day can help prevent dehydration and may also prevent feelings of hunger.
Not paying attention when eating.
Eating without paying attention, whether eating while watching a movie, watching a series, a video clip, or anything else, may make you not aware of what you are eating and how much you are eating. Even if you are aware that you have eaten. The brain will not be absorbed and satisfied with what you are eating. When you do not pay attention to what you are eating, you may feel that the food you eat is not enough and does not meet your needs as much as it should.
Lack of sleep:
Not getting enough sleep increases your levels of the hormone ghrelin. This hormone is mostly produced by your stomach. Which can make you feel hungry.
Frequent hunger may be due to physical abnormalities.
Feeling hungry all the time may also be caused by disease or abnormal physical conditions, such as:
Type 1 Diabetes
When you have Type 1 diabetes, your body lacks insulin to carry glucose into your cells. This means that your body’s cells don’t get enough glucose. Glucose stays in your bloodstream and is excreted in your urine, causing your body to ask you to eat more.
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar ,
is a condition in which the body has low levels of glucose, which can be caused by taking diabetes medications. People with this condition often have blurred vision, slurred speech, and trouble walking.
Thyroid problems
The thyroid gland is a gland that produces hormones to control the functioning of various organs in the body. If the thyroid gland is overactive, or is hyperthyroidism , it can cause symptoms such as a rapid heart rate, excessive sweating, muscle weakness, and thirst even after drinking.
Stress
When you are stressed or anxious, your body releases the hormone cortisol, which increases your hunger. People who are stressed tend to crave foods high in sugar and fat.
Normally, hunger is a natural part of the body that demands energy, making you feel hungry when you haven’t eaten anything for about 2-3 hours. เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย But if you don’t feel hungry or want to eat because you lack food, you should find the real cause and how to fix it to avoid eating more than your body actually needs.
