If you haven’t eaten for a while and you finally eat why do u feel immediacy better and like u have more energy even though the food couldn’t have been absorbed into you body yet ?
In: Biology
All food is basically made up of primary food components like carb, protein and fats. The simplest and the most effective way for our body to gain energy is by consumption of glucose. When you eat after not having eaten for a while, the trace amount of glucose gets rapidly absorbed and is used to help make you feel better. And absorption of smaller monosaccharides like glucose can take place in small amounts in the oesophagus as well so the food doesn’t even need to reach the stomach. So some glucose is used to make you feel better while the remaining food is still being digested by the body.
