Do you always feel hungry? Feeling hungry again 1 hour after breakfast, lunch or dinner? This may happen to many, but many do not know the exact reason. Know five reasons for frequent hunger pangs-
1. Eating extra carbohydrates at night:
Eating a carbohydrate-rich meal at night can make you feel hungry again after a while. When we eat too many carbohydrates at once, they are absorbed by the body very quickly, just like sugar. Avoid refined carbohydrates and eat moderate amounts of unrefined carbohydrates such as sweet potatoes, brown rice, fish or chicken, broccoli or other vegetables.
2. Lack of sleep:
Sleep has a big impact on appetite and how much we eat. Lack of sleep increases levels of the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates appetite. As a result, less sleep can lead to weight gain. Magnesium is a very important element for good sleep. It relaxes the muscles. Green leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, fish, bananas and chocolate are rich in magnesium.
3. Thirst, not hunger:
Many times we confuse thirst with hunger. Sometimes we feel hungry but at that time the body may need one to two glasses of water.
4. Menstrual Cycle:
Medical studies have shown that women's food intake increases during the second half of their menstrual cycle. Eat protein foods like fish, eggs, pulses, nuts and various types of seeds to keep the blood sugar level right and prevent hunger.
5. Pregnancy:
Appetite increases during pregnancy, along with caloric needs. This is not unusual. But at this time, you should pay attention to healthy food. Avoid refined and sugary foods during this time.
