A constant desire to satisfy hunger can indicate several dangerous diseases, a dietitian and nutritionist warned. This is accompanied by a constant desire to eat something.

For example, with insulin resistance or the development of diabetes, the cells do not receive sufficient nutrition and the body constantly needs food, the nutritionist said. “Everything that a person consumes mainly goes into the reserve in the form of adipose tissue, and does not fully enter the cells, and the person gains weight,” the doctor explained.

In addition, according to him, a person wants to eat more when the secretory function of the gastrointestinal tract is impaired. “As a rule, this is increased acidity of the stomach, which is accompanied by an ulcer, gastritis. A person in this case can also gain weight,” the specialist warned.

The nutritionist also called thyroid dysfunction, stress, and an imbalance in the consumption of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates the causes of increased appetite. “If a person, for example, mainly eats some carbohydrate food and excludes proteins from the diet, then he may constantly be drawn to food. This is how the body tries to get what it lacks,” he said.
