Acidic vegetables and fruits can trigger feelings of hunger, said “Moscow 24” nutritionist Mikhail Ginzburg.
He explained that the organic acids in them can irritate the stomach and increase mobility, which leads to the desire to eat. Also, hunger may occur after drinking alcohol.
“In the case of alcohol, the mechanism is quite simple: The pores in the cell membranes widen and the glucose in the blood goes there. It is found in very small amounts in the blood. There is an overwhelming feeling of hunger that often occurs when drinking alcohol. That’s why people are always snacking and can’t get enough,” Ginzburg said.
The doctor said that a similar effect may occur due to sweet foods. According to him, in this case there is a rapid increase in blood sugar levels, as a result of which too much insulin is released and blood sugar drops rapidly. The nutritionist concluded that the desire to eat arises in this context.
Dietitian, nutritionist Liliya Starodubtseva previously spokeIt revealed that the feeling of hunger depends not only on food and daily routine, but also on blood sugar level, hormonal balance and the body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
