Emotional hunger vs. physical hunger.
Ever wondered why you reach for that extra snack when you’re not even hungry? Let’s see the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger:
Emotional hunger comes suddenly, as it can strike out of the blue, triggered by feelings like stress, boredom, or sadness.
Physical hunger develops gradually and is a natural signal from your body that it needs energy. Physical hunger tends to be consistent and is not triggered by emotional ups and downs.
Remember, understanding the difference between these two types of hunger can empower you to make mindful eating choices and listen to your body’s true needs.
