Tag: Fatigue and hunger

According to numerous health experts, a temporary dip in blood sugar levels is a common physiological response to not eating for an extended period, which can cause fatigue. So, to answer the question, yes, it is normal to feel tired when you haven't eaten.

Scientific studies reveal a complex relationship between iron levels and the hormones that control appetite. While it seems counterintuitive, research suggests that low iron may paradoxically lead to a reduced appetite, while iron repletion can actually increase it. Understanding this connection can shed light on why fatigue and strange cravings, rather than increased hunger, are more common symptoms of iron deficiency.
