It happens to all of us now and then! We miss breakfast or Lunch and when the afternoon slump comes round we are so hungry we're ready to snap! Come on, you skip Brekkie or Lunch you're bound to be hangry!!!
But ever wonder is hanger a real thing? The answer is yes and science has confirmed it.
According to Jennifer MacCormack, lead author of a new study about hunger, hanger is a real thing.
Jennifer says: “It’s generally accepted that hunger can impact our moods and even behaviours like aggression and impulsivity,”
Jennifer and her colleagues conducted a number of experiments to get to the bottom of hanger.
The studies found that when you are under any sort of stress, you can instantly go from hunger to hanger.
“Despite the colloquial term ‘hanger,’ we found that this effect was not specific to anger,” said Jennifer's co-author Kristen Lindquist.
“People in our studies were more likely to feel intense negativity in general when they were hungry and something bad happened—suggesting that feeling hungry can turn up the dial on lots of negative emotions such as anger, stress or disgust.”
Finally, an explanation d, to be honest, it makes a lot of sense!
