You're NOT Hungry
You're simply experiencing borborygmi. Yes, that growling you and those around you hear - rising from the depths of your belly - isn't a sign of hunger. To assume you need to feed, because the beast within is calling for food, is a myth. HERE ARE THE GROWLING FACTS: - It comes from the intestines, caused by moving air and muscle contraction of the intestinal wall. - It is commonly heard on an empty stomach, because food isn't present to muffle the sound. Also with food present, the body focuses on digestion instead of shuffling air back and forth. - It can occur on a full stomach, and can spark 2 hours after a meal. - Low blood sugar increases its activity. - And swallowing too much air can also spur its occurrence. No, you didn't read wrong - none of the facts above mentioned hunger. And the only reason we've associated it with hunger is because it's frequently heard on an empty stomach - when it's almost breakfast, lunch, and dinner time.
