Even the calmest people can experience hunger-based anger. “What’s interesting about hanger (hunger and anger) is it’s actually a survival mechanism,” says Brenda Bustillos, a dietician at Texas A&M Health Science Center School of Public Health. Hanger, Bustillos explains, is our brain’s way of telling us we’re low on glucose, and we need to replenish. “The amount of glucose available for the brain declines as more time passes between meals.” Bustillos says. “Food is important because when glucose levels become too low, our brain triggers the release of stress hormones.” It harder for us to control our emotions when our brains are low on glucose, according to media reports. -amh
