The validation we all needed is here – hunger and anger are connected.
Medical News Today
, 81.3% of those who completed the 121-person were women. The methodology required participants to “complete short surveys semi-randomly five times a day for 21 days”, logging their feelings on an app. This goal was to log “in-the-moment accounts of hunger experiences” and how that related to or affected emotional wellbeing.So what did the study reveal? Well, in short, being hangry is very real – feelings of hunger can easily morph into ‘hanger’, triggering feelings of anger and irritability.
“Hunger correlated with a 56% variance in irritability, a 48% variance in anger, and 44% variance in pleasure among the study’s participants,” reportsOf course, labelling the emotions we feel when we feel them can help us deal with them, so if you get hangry it could be helpful to be mindful or even log your feelings to help understand why you are angry – if you catch it early it could solve a lot of issues at home, at work and everywhere else.
Sadly this particular study doesn’t offer any advice on how to stop reduce or stop negative hunger-related feelings but maybe we don’t need science to figure out the solution to that – don’t skip meals, make sure you carve out time to eat and that you are giving your body all the nutrients and food groups it needs – oh, and always pack snacks.
