Why do pregnant women get hungry quickly?

It could be low blood sugar levels. The blood sugar concentration is significantly lower than the normal concentration, so you will feel hungry quickly. It may also be caused by excessive stomach heat, which can cause increased appetite and a surge in hunger. It is recommended to take medicine to reduce stomach fire under the guidance of a doctor. If you feel hungry quickly, you can choose more gum arabic foods. Gum arabic can adjust blood sugar levels and relieve the feeling of hunger. Gum arabic is found in large quantities in fruits. You can choose more apples, bananas, pears, and strawberry seedlings. Pay attention to eating small and frequent meals to promote the digestion and absorption of food.

Possible reasons for accelerated starvation are as follows:

1. The energy consumed by exercise has exceeded the energy that can be provided by the food eaten, and the energy supply is insufficient. For example, athletes and physical fitness workers may eat much more than ordinary people, people with low exercise intensity, and people with low energy requirements. This type of people may experience hunger quickly, which may be a physiological condition;

2. Considering the relationship with the metabolism of brain gut peptides, once the body is under work stress, it can affect the metabolism of neurological substances in the gastrointestinal tract. If the metabolism is abnormal or disordered, the secretion of gastric juice or related digestive enzymes occurs prematurely before the meal, and the patient will feel hungry quickly. At this time, treatment can be carried out through simple acid-suppressing treatment or taking Chinese herbal medicines that have the functions of nourishing yin and clearing away heat, such as Dendrobium candidum.

In addition to gastroenterology, many other diseases may cause hunger quickly. First of all, we should rule out endocrine diseases such as hyperthyroidism and diabetes. Patients are prone to hunger. Because of their faster metabolism or problems with glycolysis, patients will become thin and prone to hunger. The above conditions must be eliminated first. You can go to the hospital to check blood sugar and thyroid hormone.

In addition, for gastroenterology, it is easy to feel hungry, which may be due to the more active gastrointestinal motility. It may also be due to diseases such as erosion or ulcer in the stomach. When there are ulcers or erosion in the stomach, contact with gastric juice will cause discomfort and hunger pain. But for normal people, there is no erosion or ulcer in the stomach. When hungry, although there is gastric juice, it is not irritating, so there is not much discomfort.
