Everyone knows that a hungry person is, at the very least, an irritable person who is ready to snap at anyone and for any reason.

More often than not, such people are called angry, or even downright evil. But should we look for the reason in upbringing or a constant bad mood?

Scientists have found out why people get angry when they are hungry. The results of the work were published by Health.

Hunger or mood

If you see an irritated person who is also looking for something to eat, it is better not to ask him unnecessary questions.

What is the reason?

It turns out that the brain is to blame for everything.

Under the influence of hunger, the human body experiences a change in glucose levels (it decreases).

Along with this, irritability and aggressive behavior appear, and the person becomes weaker.

That is why the first thing a person wants to do is eat something sweet and high in calories.

Is it possible to fight?

The body of a hungry but healthy person most often copes with the situation on its own, thanks to hormones - adrenaline and cortisol.

In this case, working capacity is maintained, and if the feeling of hunger is moderate, then productivity will even increase under the influence of the hormone orexin.

However, this feature should not be abused, since as the feeling of hunger increases, this function will begin to weaken.
