Even when we eat properly, our body may feel starved for numerous reasons. From dry, flaky skin to brain fog, our body gives us several signs that our body is starving. Tap to know them !
Dry And Flaky Skin
A diet that is not rich in fatty acids, protein, vitamin A, and more can cause dry and flaky skin or brittle hair.
Slowed Thyroid Function
The thyroid function (T3) slows down due to starvation, which also slows down the metabolism, causes fatigue, constipation, and more.
Swelling
Also known as Edema, it occurs when our diet lacks protein, causing electrolyte and fluid imbalance in the body, especially in the face, legs, and more.
Delayed Wound Healing
Wound healing delays due to protein and vitamin C deficiency, which impairs tissue repair and reduces white blood cells, making the body more prone to infections.
Restlessness
Eating food with little to no calories can cause the person to feel restless, making them feel agitated or compelled to move.
Brain Fog
Brain fog may occur when the food lacks sufficient amino acids, glucose, fats, and more, impairing mood, concentration, and memory.
