You wonder what's going on, so all day long you just think about the foods you have in the fridge, how best to prepare them and what to sweeten them with at the end... Experts with WebMed portals offer several answers.
Question: Why am I always hungry?
Answer: Hunger is the body's signal that it needs energy, and it is a normal phenomenon if you have not eaten for hours. But if you have the feeling that there is a black hole in your stomach, even after a meal, maybe something is wrong with your health, writes ordinacija.hr.
Question: Is it diabetes?
Answer: The body converts sugar from food into a fuel called glucose, but if a person has diabetes, that fuel leaves the body and says it wants more. If it is diabetes type 1, a person can eat a lot and still be thin.
In addition to a strong appetite, symptoms of diabetes can include:
- Thirst
- Blurred vision
- Wounds that heal slowly
- Aqueous
- Pain in arms and legs
Question: Is it low blood sugar?
Answer: Hypoglycemia is the medical name for this condition, and if you have diabetes, you are also in the risk group. But other conditions can also lead to low blood sugar, such as hepatitis, kidney or thyroid disease.
The symptoms you need to recognize are:
- Anxiety
- Heart palpitations
- Pale skin
- Trembling
- Sweating
- A strange sensation in the mouth
Question: Is lack of sleep the cause?
Answer: If you don't get enough rest, the hormones that control hunger can be disrupted, so people who don't sleep enough have a greater appetite, and you may have a special desire for fatty and high-calorie foods.
Other symptoms of sleep deprivation are:
- Clumsiness
- Extreme alertness
- You have difficulty staying awake during the day
- Weight gain
Question: Is stress responsible?
Answer: When you are anxious, the body releases the hormone cortisol, which is why you feel hungry. In such a state, many want to eat something sweet, fried and fatty, perhaps in order to block their emotions.
Other symptoms of stress:
- Outbursts of anger
- Headache
- Aqueous
- Sleep problems
- Stomach pain
Question: Do I feel hungry all the time because of what I eat?
Answer: Not all foods are 'filling', and the foods you should eat are fruits and vegetables, fish, yogurt, peas, and all foods that contain a lot of protein. Pasta, bread and ready-made food contain carbohydrates that will make you hungry soon after eating.
This will let you know that you are not eating good food:
- Prison
- Hard stool
- Abdominal pain
Question: If I'm always hungry, is it because of the medication?
Answer: Certain medications can make you feel hungry, including certain antidepressants, steroids, and diabetes medications. If you have gained weight since taking the medication, talk to your doctor.
Question: Am I pregnant?
