                                According to a study published in the journal *Physiology & Behavior*, the physical sensations we often interpret as hunger can be triggered by a complex interplay of hormones, gut-brain communication, and even emotional states, not just a need for food. This explains why your stomach might feel 'starving' even when your body has sufficient energy.
