Hunger is the physiological sensation and state of discomfort that arises when the body lacks adequate nourishment and energy. It is the body’s way of signaling that it needs nutrients, such as food, to function properly. Hunger can be caused by a decrease in blood sugar levels and the release of certain hormones in response to an empty stomach. Satiety, on the other hand, is the feeling of fullness and satisfaction that occurs after eating and when the body’s energy needs have been met.
