Is there a high appetite or hyper appetite?
Modern people's appetite is more and more developed, and food is within reach, so it is easy to become addicted to food. The stomach secretes hunger hormones, which strongly stimulate appetite and cause eating, but eating too much is prone to obesity, and obesity has become a killer of human health. Generally speaking, when people are idle and have nothing to do, they are easy to eat, and even if they are full, they want to eat again. However, if there is a sudden appearance of hunger and want to eat food, the amount of food eaten is significantly increased, and the body is emaciated, accompanied by panic and fatigue, pay attention to whether there is endocrine disease, you can go to the hospital to check blood sugar and thyroid function.
How is the appetite so good before menstruation?
The reason why women's appetite increases before menstruation is that hormones affect the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines, such as dry premenstrual stools, and the opposite is true after menstruation. Premenstrual women's body fat reduction may be the main reason why women love desserts before menstruation, so compared to desserts, more beneficial to women is starchy foods or snacks, such as bread, noodles, rice, potatoes and other foods, which are more likely to make women feel full and meet the needs of the body.
