Always Hungry? Experts Explain 10 Possible Reasons & Solutions
#6: You’re drinking alcohol in excess
Drinking too little water is one thing – but drinking too much alcohol can have a devastating impact on your health.
In our case, alcohol consumption can stop the production of hormones responsible for reducing your appetite (such as leptin). This fact has been long proven by multiple studies including this one from the journal Physiology & Behavior, which established that alcohol can be a risk factor for obesity.
Another study performed on 26 healthy participants found that those who drank only one 30 milliliter-ounce of alcohol before meals ate 30% more calories compared to those who avoided alcohol. Judging by this piece of research, you can only imagine the devastating impact of making a habit out of drinking alcoholic beverages daily.
I’m not saying you should cut alcohol from your diet completely if you’re a fan – just make dure that you stick to the recommended intake of one drink for women and two drinks for men. Wine can be an excellent choice because it benefits your heart health and it comes in such a wide range of flavors. Here’s our top 3 healthiest types of wine according to dietitians.
