Have you ever asked yourself ‘why am I hungry?’ And why right now, at this specific moment? Being hungry is a special feeling and is caused by the brain, who reads changes in the levels of hormones and nutrients in the blood.
Hunger might be caused by different weird factors and depends from one person to another. These factors were affecting someone’s appetite according to studies:
1. Salt
I believe you thought salt made you thirsty until now, but this isn’t how it is working. The thirsty feeling comes when your body produces and store more of its own water, which takes a lot of energy and therefore leads to hunger.
2. Medications
Certain medications could be feeling your appetite, such as anti-depressants, allergy meds, insulin and blood sugar medicines. If that’s the case, do not reduce the amount of medicine before consulting a doctor.
3. Air Conditioning
Yes. Air Conditioning. People tend to eat more with cold temperatures because they want to keep their body warm.
