Microbiology What happens to the body when we are hungry?

Hello, there are some steps:

• Vagus nerve sends signals to the brain about how full or empty your stomach is, as well as the different nutrients present in the intestines.
• When your stomach has been empty for two hours, it begins contracting to sweep remaining food into the intestines. This rumbling is called ‘borborygmus’.
• Cells in the stomach and intestine produce ghrelin, a hormone that triggers feelings of hunger. Higher ghrelin levels are associated with obesity.
• Levels of key nutrients in your blood – including glucose, amino acids and fatty acids – are at their lowest concentrations when you are hungry.
• Hunger increases your impulsiveness and reduces your ability to make long-term decisions. This is why you shouldn’t shop on an empty stomach.
