Sometimes, even after a full meal, you may feel like you want to look in the refrigerator and have a snack.
Moreover, the appearance of increased appetite can be caused by several reasons.
Gastroenterologist Ekaterina Kashukh spoke in more detail about this, as reported by Doctor Peter .
According to the expert, if increased appetite appears without any significant changes in lifestyle, then this may indicate some health problems.
In particular, in this case it is worth paying attention to the thyroid gland.
The specialist explained that with excessive production of hormones, metabolic processes can accelerate.
Therefore, the body will need more energy and, accordingly, food in order to maintain vital functions.
In addition, another reason for constant hunger can be stress or depression.
These conditions in turn lead to emotional overeating.
The expert noted that in this situation, you need to listen to your own body and monitor your eating habits.
It is also necessary to try to distinguish true hunger from emotions and certain experiences that are in no way connected with a lack of energy.
If you experience an increased feeling of hunger, you need to pay attention to your hemoglobin level.
After all, it is responsible for delivering oxygen to the body's tissues.
Moreover, in case of lack of oxygen, fatigue may occur. But the brain may perceive this as a lack of energy.
