Tag: Mental exhaustion

According to research from Australia's Edith Cowan University, people who ate a diet rich in fruits and vegetables had lower stress levels, which contrasts with the high stress linked to restrictive dieting and the onset of diet fatigue. This mental and emotional exhaustion is a common roadblock for many people trying to lose weight.

According to research published in the journal *Current Biology*, intense mental labor can lead to the buildup of metabolic byproducts in the brain, which contributes to feelings of fatigue and may increase appetite. This phenomenon, often called 'brain hunger,' directly answers the question: does studying hard make you hungrier? Yes, for several key physiological and psychological reasons.
