Why do I often feel hungry?

We face the temptation of various delicacies every day, and at the same time we enjoy the happiness that delicacies bring us. At the same time, dietary issues are also closely related to us. The human body has a very complex structure, and it is inevitable that there will be problems of one kind or another. Many times it will also lead everyone into a misunderstanding. Sometimes, often feeling hungry is often ignored as a disease. Let us understand why we often feel hungry.

The energy for human physiological activities comes directly from blood sugar, which comes from nutrients obtained from food by digestive organs such as the small intestine. The reason why people are hungry is that the blood sugar concentration decreases, which leads to normal physiological reactions. It is time to replenish food (that is, eat). If you do not replenish food immediately at this time, after a while, the physiological reaction will prompt the decomposition of glycogen (derived from the decomposition of cellular fat, the process is completed by bile). At this time, people will feel that they have passed the hunger mark, but they are no longer hungry.

The most direct reason for being hungry is low blood sugar concentration, but there may be many reasons.

The first one: there is something wrong with the blood. Some people's blood sugar concentration is always lower than normal due to characteristic (genetic) reasons. As a result, they are always hungry and do not feel comfortable even if they eat until they are full. They are weaker and have weak immunity. They may get sick frequently and have no energy. (Go for a blood test)

The second type is poor digestive tract function. If the digestive organs such as the small intestine and stomach cannot work properly, food cannot be completely converted into the nutrients needed by the body, resulting in low blood sugar concentrations. It is easy to get hungry and you will feel hungry soon after eating. (Go for a gastrointestinal examination, including the mouth, esophagus, gallbladder, etc.)

The third type: It may also be caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormones, which will cause the patient to be very thin and have a bad temper (commonly known as hyperthyroidism, it is recommended to go to the hospital to test the thyroid gland).

The fourth type: You cannot stand being hungry, which is "annoying hunger". It may be due to abnormal liver function. When the blood sugar concentration decreases, the liver cannot make the correct physiological response to break down glycogen to maintain normal activity energy, so it continues to consume the little glycogen in the blood, causing increasingly severe physiological reactions. (Hungry, annoyingly hungry). [It is recommended to check the liver and gallbladder function. The gallbladder plays a very important role. Even if the liver function is normal, if the gallbladder function is abnormal, fat cannot be converted into energy substances normally, which will lead to the same consequences, but people will gain weight and cannot eat greasy food.]

The fifth type: It may be a kidney problem. Nutrients must be filtered by the kidneys. If there is a problem with the kidneys, nutrients cannot enter the blood circulation normally. This causes the body to be in a state of nutritional deficiency, which manifests itself as hunger. (It is recommended to check kidney function, renal tubules and filters, which may lead to diabetes. The person will be thinner, have bad skin, rashes, etc., and the urine color is abnormal)

The sixth type: It may be a combination of the above reasons. Humans are very sophisticated and advanced instruments. Often when the damage is relatively minor, they can rely on their own physiological reactions to adjust and give prompts. So when you feel very uncomfortable, your body functions have already declined to a considerable extent, so sometimes the causes of a disease are often a mixture of several factors.

Everyone hopes that they and their family and friends are healthy, but sometimes some small problems are ignored. Today's society puts a lot of pressure on people. Everyone is busy at work, and often feeling hungry is not considered to be sick. Now everyone understands why they often feel hungry, so they must pay attention to their own health.
