    This document discusses how appetite is affected by various factors like climate, social influences, sickness, exercise, hormones, and medications. It describes how being cold can increase appetite to maintain body warmth. Social gatherings and marketing can influence food choices. Illness and injury often decrease appetite to avoid straining the digestive system. Exercise generally promotes a healthy appetite but may suppress hunger immediately after a workout. Hormones like leptin and ghrelin impact hunger levels and weight regulation. Finally, some medications intended to treat other conditions can increase or decrease appetite as a side effect. Appetite dysregulation also contributes to eating disorders and obesity.

    Appetite
    • Appetite is the desire to eat food, sometimes due to hunger.
    • Appetite serves to regulate adequate energy intake to maintain metabolic needs.

    • Appetitive behavior are the only processes that involve energy intake, whereas all
    other behaviors affect the release of energy.

    Factors Affecting Appetite
    1. Climate
    2. Social Factors
    3. Sickness And Injury
    4. Exercise/Physical Activity
    5. Hormonal Levels
    6. Medicinal Side-Effects

    4
    Climate
    • Shivering or just being cold in general can increase metabolic
    rate as much as five fold, potentially providing a healthy and
    sustainable alternative way to burn energy and, thus calories.

    • Food provides calories and fat that the body burns to keep itself
    warm and moving. To help ensure enough warmth is provided, food
    processed faster
    • When in a cold environment, emptying stomach quicker and
    feeling hungry more often.
    5
    Social Factors
     Social Gatherings – Special Occasions
     Fast food – Large portion sizes
     Enhanced Flavors
     New Products – Marketing and Advertisements

    6
    Sickness And Injury
    • Dyspepsia (indigestion), severe physical stress or trauma such as a broken bone,
    surgery, a burn and a high fever, reduces appetite and slows the natural contractions
    of the intestinal tract.

    • Eating under such conditions can stretch bowel enough to tear it and even cause food
    to back up in the gut, which is why intravenous feeding — that’s, getting nutrients
    via fluids injected into a vein — is a method doctors and nutritionists prefer during
    the healing process.
    7
    Exercise/Physical Activity
    • People who exercise regularly tend to have a healthy appetite. One may not feel
    hungry immediately after exercising, because physical activity pulls stored energy
    (i.e. glucose and fatty acids) out of body tissues and into the bloodstream, giving of
    the feeling of hunger.

    • Exercise, both physical and mental, also empties stomach more slowly and slows the
    passage of food through the digestive tract, making one feel fuller longer.
    Hormonal Changes
    • Leptin is a hormone, made by fat cells, that decreases appetite. Levels of leptin are
    lower in a thin person and higher in a fat person. But many obese people have built
    up a resistance to the appetite-suppressing effects of leptin.

    • Ghrelin is a hormone that increases appetite, and also plays a role in body weight.
    Ghrelin is released primarily in the stomach and is thought to signal hunger to
    the brain.

    9
    Medicinal Side-Effects
    • Some drugs used to treat common health conditions affect appetite. Such a side
    effect is rarely mentioned by doctors when they prescribe a drug, perhaps because it
    isn’t life-threatening and usually goes away once you stop taking the drug.

    • The fact that a drug affects appetite is almost never a reason to avoid using it.
    However, knowing that a relationship exists between the drug and desire for food can
    be helpful.
