Hunger

Hunger is the body's natural signal indicating the need for nourishment, primarily driven by biochemical and hormonal responses to low energy levels. When blood sugar drops or energy stores are depleted, hormones like ghrelin signal the brain to initiate feelings of hunger. This prompts us to seek and consume food to restore energy balance. Hunger involves both physiological cues and psychological factors, such as habits and emotions, influencing when and how much we eat. It is a vital mechanism that helps regulate energy intake and maintain overall health, ensuring the body receives essential nutrients for proper functioning.
