Hunger and mood
We can say that the brain is to blame for everything. When a person feels hungry, the glucose level in the body drops.
Evidence of this is the appearance of irritability, weakness or aggressive behavior.

If we are talking about a healthy and normally functioning body, then low blood sugar levels can be regulated by hormones.
In such cases, the body produces adrenaline and cortisol.
This feature allows you to continue working when your blood sugar levels drop.
If we are talking about a moderate feeling of hunger, then productivity can increase.
In this case, the hormone orexin comes into play.
Under the influence of orexin, a reflex is activated that increases productivity, but if hunger increases, the hormones will no longer help.
