你为什么总是觉得饿?

你为什么总是觉得饿?

The feeling of hunger is a natural reaction, telling your body that it's time to get more food. At that time, the hungry stomach will "scream", making it easy to become irritable and unable to focus on doing anything.

饥饿感是一种自然反应，它告诉你的身体是时候获取更多的食物了。在那个时候，饥饿的胃会“尖叫”，很容易变得烦躁，无法集中精力做任何事情。

Usually, the ideal interval between meals will range from 3 to 5 hours. However, many people experience constant hunger, sometimes very soon after having enjoyed a meal not long ago. The frightening thing is that you will tend to gain weight if you eat a lot when you are too hungry!

通常，两餐之间理想的间隔时间为3到5个小时。然而，许多人经历了持续的饥饿，有时刚吃完饭不久就会饿。可怕的是，如果你在太饿的时候吃太多，你就会容易发胖!

In order to control this, you must first understand the cause. The answer could be one or more of the following reasons.

为了控制它，你必须首先了解原因。答案可能是下列原因中的一个或多个。

Cause you always feel hungry

你总是觉得饿的原因

Fast metabolism

快速的新陈代谢

Some people burn more calories in a shorter period of time than others. According to one study, more than 30% of the general population has a fast metabolism that allows them to burn 400 more calories per day than others. If your metabolism is fast, you will tend to feel hungry often.

有些人比其他人在短时间内消耗更多的卡路里。根据一项研究，超过30%的普通人群具有快速的新陈代谢，这使他们每天比其他人多燃烧400卡路里。如果你的新陈代谢很快，你会经常感到饥饿。

Processed food

加工食品

You may be eating a lot of processed or refined foods such as crackers or white bread that cause your blood sugar to rise in the short term. These can make you feel more hungry than before.

你可能吃了很多加工或精制的食物，如饼干或白面包，这会导致你的血糖在短期内升高。这些食物会让你感觉比以前更饿。

Research shows that foods high in fat and sugar interfere with chemicals in the brain that regulate mood, leading to depression, anxiety and overeating. Experts believe that refined sugar is the most common cause of increased appetite throughout the day.

研究表明，高脂肪和高糖的食物会干扰大脑中调节情绪的化学物质，导致抑郁、焦虑和暴饮暴食。专家认为，精制糖是导致一天中食欲增加的最常见原因。

Endocrine problems

内分泌的问题

Hormonal changes associated with menstruation, an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) and diabetes are common causes of constant hunger. When your thyroid hormone levels get too high, you'll burn calories faster.

与月经有关的荷尔蒙变化，甲状腺过度活跃(甲状腺机能亢进)和糖尿病是持续饥饿的常见原因。当你的甲状腺激素水平过高时，你会更快地燃烧卡路里。

Meanwhile, hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) associated with diabetes can also cause hunger. Therefore, if you are constantly hungry and accompanied by other signs such as weight loss, fatigue, or irritability ... proving hormonal imbalance, you need to see a doctor to be diagnosed and appropriate treatment.

与此同时，与糖尿病相关的高血糖也会导致饥饿。因此，如果你经常感到饥饿，并伴有其他症状，如体重减轻、疲劳或易怒……如果你证明你的荷尔蒙不平衡，你需要去看医生进行诊断并进行适当的治疗。

Dehydration

脱水

Sometimes a dehydrated body can trick the brain into thinking it is hungry. So the next time you feel hungry, try drinking some water and wait for a few minutes to see how you really feel.

有时脱水的身体会让大脑误以为自己饿了。所以下次你觉得饿的时候，试着喝点水，等几分钟看看你的真实感觉。

Insomnia

失眠

Poor sleep can make you feel hungry under the influence of the hormones ghrelin and leptin. First, insomnia increases your ghrelin levels, stimulating appetite. Second, it lowers your leptin levels causing your brain to signal that you are not full. If you have always been deprived of sleep, chances are you will feel hungry all the time.

在荷尔蒙饥饿素和瘦素的影响下，睡眠不好会让你感到饥饿。首先，失眠会增加胃饥饿素的水平，刺激食欲。其次，它会降低你的瘦素水平，让你的大脑发出你没有吃饱的信号。如果你一直睡眠不足，很有可能你会一直感到饥饿。

Persistent stress

持续的压力

Constant stress causes the body to produce a stress hormone called cortisol, and adrenaline tends to increase appetite. On the other hand, stress also lowers serotonin levels, which has been linked to depression and binge eating. To avoid excessive cravings, practice relaxation techniques to reduce stress.

持续的压力会导致身体产生一种叫做皮质醇的压力荷尔蒙，而肾上腺素会增加食欲。另一方面，压力也会降低血清素水平，而血清素与抑郁和暴饮暴食有关。为了避免过度的渴望，练习放松技巧来减少压力。

Alcohol

酒精

One study found that drinking alcohol causes people to consume more high-calorie foods. Alcohol also dehydrates you, thus making you feel more hungry than thirsty. You can offset this effect by drinking water and alcohol alternately while you're at a party or dining out.

一项研究发现，饮酒会导致人们摄入更多的高热量食物。酒精也会使你脱水，因此你会觉得更饿而不是更渴。你可以通过在聚会或外出就餐时交替喝水和喝酒来抵消这种影响。

Certain drugs

某些药物

Certain medications can make the body feel hungry all the time. These include antidepressants like paxil and zoloft, and corticosteroids like prednisone (used to treat allergies, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease). If you are taking medicines that have the side effects of increasing your appetite, talk to your doctor if you can use another medicine instead.

某些药物会让身体一直感到饥饿。这些包括抗抑郁药如帕罗西汀和左洛复，皮质类固醇如强的松(用于治疗过敏、哮喘和炎症性肠病)。如果你正在服用的药物有增加食欲的副作用，请咨询你的医生是否可以使用其他药物来代替。

Intestinal parasites

肠道寄生虫

Intestinal parasites like worms are quite common, and the nutrients you eat may just feed ... worms without your body enjoying anything. Sometimes the only symptom is persistent hunger with no weight gain.

像蠕虫这样的肠道寄生虫很常见，你吃的营养物质可能只是用来喂养…蠕虫，你的身体没有享受任何东西。有时，唯一的症状是持续饥饿而没有体重增加。

Eating disorder

进食障碍

Sometimes, persistent hunger can be a symptom of an eating disorder such as anorexia, which is associated with uncontrolled overeating. A person with bulimia tends to eat larger amounts of food in a short period of time (less than 2 hours). This is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

有时，持续的饥饿可能是饮食失调的症状，如厌食症，它与不受控制的暴饮暴食有关。患有贪食症的人往往会在短时间内(不到2小时)吃更多的食物。通常伴有恶心和呕吐。

In short, having constant cravings, always feeling hungry is not necessarily healthy, not to mention it will make your plan to keep shape bankrupt. So do not ignore this feeling.

简而言之，持续的渴望，总是感到饥饿并不一定是健康的，更不用说它会让你保持体形的计划破产。所以不要忽视这种感觉。
