Sometimes the feeling of hunger can appear quite unexpectedly and at the wrong time, even despite having eaten recently.
And in this case, there are several ways to overcome it without unnecessary suffering.
Endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlova shared the details on her Telegram channel.
The expert noted that sometimes people can be frightened by the feeling of hunger and thirst.
Therefore, before you pounce on food, it is worth slowly drinking a glass of water.
If the hunger was false, then after this this feeling should pass.
In addition, the specialist advises drinking a glass of warm water in the morning and consuming a sufficient amount of it throughout the day.
If you engage in, for example, some kind of mental work for a long time, the body may begin to demand glucose.
Therefore, sometimes during work you may feel the desire to have a snack on something sweet.
In such a situation, the expert advises to distract yourself and change your activity. For example, you can do simple exercises.
If it is not yet time for a full meal, but hunger is already beginning to overcome you, then you can have a snack.
Only the food in this case should be healthy. So, it can be something protein-carbohydrate.
For example, in such a situation, you can add yogurt or a little cheese to the apple.
Sometimes a strong desire to snack can appear before bed.
But you definitely shouldn't overeat at night. So you can try to cope with your appetite by simply brushing your teeth.
