Why do we sometimes feel nauseous when we’re hungry?
In: 6
Thinking about food is enough for your body to release stomach acid into your empty stomach. And that acid in an empty stomach is irritating enough to make you nauseous.
This can be hypoglycemia – our bodies use a multitude of signals to feel ‘hungry’, one of them is low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia). Lowered blood sugar levels trigger a release of hormones including adrenaline that leads to a feeling of nausea.
