What makes us hungry?

Solution

Hunger:

  1. Hunger is caused because of insufficient consumption of dietary energy, which results in uncomfortable physical conditions.
  2. When we did not eat anything for two hours, the stomach starts to contract the remaining food into the intestine.
  3. The stomach and intestinal cells produce a hormone, called ghrelin, and it triggers the feeling of hunger.
