Why is it easy to get hungry in winter?

Causes of cold weather and easy hunger

1. Have a big appetite

In summer, because of the hot weather, people's appetite is reduced, their calorie intake is reduced, the metabolism of fat cells in the body is accelerated, and energy consumption is more, so the human body will lose weight. In autumn, people's appetite increases, they get enough sleep, sweating decreases, energy metabolism is relatively stable, and fat gradually accumulates. Therefore, after entering autumn and winter, the human body will gradually gain weight.

2. Increased metabolic rate

In autumn and winter, when the temperature drops, the body temperature will also drop, the heat consumption will be reduced compared with that in summer, and the metabolism will be relatively slow. Many people feel very hungry. Obviously, they have just had three full meals, but they are hungry every hour or two and have a particularly good appetite. This is because the weather is cold. In order to resist the cold, the human body starts the regulation mechanism to shorten the time and speed of transforming fat into glucose, thus promoting the body to generate heat energy and improving the metabolic rate. Coupled with the cold weather, it is easy to promote the secretion of gastric acid, so it is particularly prone to hunger.

3. Habitual weight loss

Many people continue to lose weight in a short time, and then they can't stand the pain of losing weight and give up. If they are always so fat and thin, over and over again, at first glance, they think that their body fat rate is actually increasing, which is the so-called "invisible obesity." Usually, when you lose weight, the fat will decrease with the muscles, but when you gain weight, you will only increase the fat without increasing the muscles. Therefore, in the process of repeated weight loss, you will unconsciously store a lot of fat.

4. Insufficient exercise

In winter, because it is too cold to move, the sympathetic nerve becomes dull, the energy consumption will also decrease, and the excess energy in the body will be converted into fat and accumulated, which is easy to be obese.
