What s going on when it s cold and hungry fast, and why it s easy to get hungry when it s cold

The condition you describe may be hyperthyroidism, or diabetes. Or just the stomach fire mentioned in traditional Chinese medicine, only according to the situation that you are hungry can not be diagnosed, it is recommended that you do a thyroid function test and blood sugar test, and clarify the targeted**.

When the temperature is low, most people have a better appetite, the weather is cold and the metabolism increases, and in winter, people's stomach acid is relatively more, and the temperature is low and needs more heat, so although we eat more in winter, we often feel hungry.

There is a "temperature regulator" in the human body that controls body temperature within a certain range. In order to maintain the temperature of the human body, the body needs to consume more heat, and in addition to the cold weather, it promotes the secretion of gastric acid, and people are more likely to have a large appetite.

As the temperature drops, the body instinctively stores more fat to ward off the cold in order to maintain a constant body temperature. At this time, the rate of anabolism of human fat is 2 to 4 times faster than usual, while the rate of fat catabolism is less than 10% of usual. As a result, fat synthesis is more than metabolism, fat is hoarded, and it is easy to get hungry.

The energy of human physiological activity is directly related to blood glucose, and blood sugar is derived from nutrients obtained from food by digestive organs such as the small intestine. The reason why people are hungry is that the concentration of blood sugar in the blood decreases, which in turn leads to a normal physiological response. This is the time to supplement food (i.e., eat), and if you don't do it at this time, for a longer period of time, the physiological response will prompt the breakdown of hepatic glycogen (from cellular lipolystats, which is completed by bile).

At this time, people will feel hungry and not hungry.

Guidance: The most direct cause of hunger is a decrease in blood glucose concentration, but there can be a variety of reasons. First: there is a problem with the blood.

Some people's blood glucose concentration will be lower than normal due to characteristic (genetic) reasons, and the result is that they are hungry all the time, and they will not feel comfortable eating until they are struggling, and they are weaker and have weak immunity, and they may often get sick and have no strength. The second type is that the digestive tract is not functioning well, and if the digestive organs such as the small intestine and stomach cannot work normally, they will not be able to completely convert the food into the nutrients needed by the body, resulting in low blood sugar concentration, and it is easy to get hungry, and you will be hungry soon after eating.

Go for a gastrointestinal examination, even including the oral cavity, esophagus, gall bladder, etc.) Third: It may also be caused by more thyroid hormone secretion, which will be very thin and short-tempered (commonly known as hyperthyroidism, it is recommended to go to the hospital to test the thyroid gland). Fourth:

When the blood sugar concentration decreases, the liver cannot make a correct physiological response to decompose liver glycogen to maintain normal activity energy, so it continues to consume a small amount of glycogen in the blood, causing a heavier and heavier physiological reaction. (hungry, annoyingly hungry). [It is recommended to check the liver and gallbladder function, the role of the gallbladder is also very large, even if the liver function is normal, if the bile function is not normal, the fat can not be converted into energy substances normally, and it will lead to the same consequences, but people will gain weight and cannot eat greasy things] The fifth:

It may be a problem with the kidneys, and the nutrients have to be filtered by the kidneys, and if there is a problem with the kidneys, the nutrients cannot enter the blood circulation normally. As a result, the body is always in a state of insufficient nutrition, and it is manifested as hunger. (It is recommended to check kidney function, renal tubules and filter, which may lead to diabetes.)

People will be thinner, not good, with rashes, etc., and the urine color is not normal) Sixth: It may be a combination of the above reasons. Human beings are very sophisticated and advanced instruments, and often when there is relatively small damage, it can rely on its own physiological response to adjust and prompt.

So when you feel very uncomfortable, your body function has decreased a lot, so sometimes the causes of a condition are often a mixture of several things.

The metabolism is fast, and the hunger is fast.
