It’s scientifically proven that being hungry can lead to anger in most people, so don’t worry you’re not alone. In a study published in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, it was found that people with lower blood sugar were “more stabby” (they were given voodoo dolls to stab when they were angry). The hungrier people were, the angrier they were. The study mainly focused on how our bodies are so intertwined and what we feel in our stomachs doesn’t just stay there. It can affect your heart, lungs, brain and even your emotions. When you are hungry, your body tends to go into the fight-or-flight response.
