Why do we get hangry?

Hangry is not normal hunger. Normal hunger is usually brought about by smelling food. It’s also common to feel normal hunger around our normal mealtimes because our digestive system has its own internal clock that keeps excellent track of time. (This is why your dog or cat always seems to know when it’s dinner o’clock.) Ordinary hunger does not make us angry or irritable.

But of all the ingredients in junk food, salt is the least likely to cause health problems.  I grew up surrounded by messaging that salt was bad but I was always skeptical.

Fatty Liver Promotes Long Covid (New Study)

New studies show fatty liver makes COVID not just deadly but also disabling by increasing the chance you’ll develop “long covid.” You can reverse fatty liver to prevent long Covid by avoiding seed oils, cutting soda and juice, and keeping alcohol under 4 drinks per week. Of the above three factors, the most important is avoiding the hateful 8 seed oils!
