How does hunger affect us?

The feeling of hunger is a brain signal to our body. The signal is given when there is a lack of nutrients in the blood. Let's see how it goes. In our body, a constant metabolic balance must be maintained, that is, metabolism must be carried out. This means that there must be a certain balance and control over our food intake and processing.

There are three things that regulate our body weight: thirst, hunger and appetite. There is a hunger center in the brain. Its effects inhibit the work of the stomach and intestines. The hunger center stops the activity of the stomach and intestines if there are enough nutrients in the blood. But if they are not enough, the stomach and intestines become active. That's why you can hear your stomach growl when you're hungry. But hunger by itself can do nothing with an empty stomach.

For example, if a person has an empty stomach, but he is excited, then he will not feel hungry. In this case, the human body consumes protein and nutrients from its internal reserves. When you feel hungry, it means that the body needs various nutrients. Indeed, a hungry person is ready to eat any food. Your appetite makes sure that your food choices match your body's needs as closely as possible.

For example, at dinner, a person might eat a whole bowl of soup, followed by meat and vegetables. In addition, he can eat dessert, cake, drink coffee. But it will be very difficult for him to eat exactly the same amount of food if it consists of one potato! Metabolism determines how long a living being can go without food. Warm-blooded animals have a more active metabolism, so their supply of nutrients is consumed faster.

 Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

What color was Robin Hood's tights?

Red.

The earliest stories about Robin Rude date back to the XNUMXth century.

In the longest and most important of them, "A Gest of Robyn Hode", Robin and his "merry gang" are dressed in "scarlet robes" of striped fabric.

In other ballads, Robin appears alternately in red and scarlet, while his fellows are invariably dressed in green. Thus, Robin's status as a commander is emphasized: in medieval England, "scarlet" cloth was considered the most expensive, since kermes, obtained from dried female kermes worms (Kermes ilicis), was used to dye it.

This also explains the origin of Robin's name - an association with a robin bird (robin redbreast) - and one of his closest associates, Will Scarlet (Scarlet (English) - scarlet, bright red.).

Only in later versions does the color of the Sherwood legend's outfits become bright green - although, if you think about it carefully, "Lincoln Green" may not be so green at all.

In medieval England, Lincoln was the capital of the dye industry. The color "Lincoln Green" was indeed bright green (blue paint made from mignonette was dyed yellow), but "Lincoln Grain" was just the same scarlet - the paint was prepared from kermes, at that time known by the word "graine".

The early Robin Hood ballads are simply obsessed with clothing. In addition to the fact that the "noble robber" himself is nicknamed in honor of his headdress (The word hood is translated from English as "hood".), in the "Small Song" almost every stanza mentions robes, dresses, capes, trousers, shirts and fabrics in six different colors, and in one of the songs, Robin even pretends to be a manufactory merchant and sells 123 feet of green cloth to the king.

At least one historian puts forward the following version: the true essence of the stories about Robin Hood is not at all in the traditional struggle "forest against city" or "poor against rich." In his opinion, the main thing in these ballads is the victory of the merchant-adventurer over the decaying, corrupt nobility.

Like, Robin Rude, dressed in expensive red cloth, actually defended not the poor, but only the emerging middle class.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Mushkin REACTOR 1 TB SSD 08.05.2015

Mushkin Enhanced MFG, a company specializing in the production of high-performance computing devices, has announced the imminent release of new models of REACTOR Series solid-state drives to the market.

Buyers will be available SSD REACTOR with a capacity of 256, 512 GB and 1 TB. New items, according to the developers, are ideal for professionals and computer enthusiasts who want to "squeeze" the most out of their PC.

The manufacturer decided to mark the expansion of the REACTOR line with the launch of the Ghost Recon Phantoms Sweepstakes lottery, where you can win one of the valuable prizes ranging from $100 to $2270. Unfortunately, only residents of the United States can participate in the lottery. Also, for those who purchase one of certain Mushkin products (including the new SSDs) through the Newegg.com online store, a $30 Ghost Recon Phantoms top-up code will be offered free of charge.

The new REACTOR drives use the Silicon Motions SM2246EN controller. The data read speed reaches 560 MB / s, and the maximum write speed is 460 MB / s. Random read/write performance in 4KB blocks is 76k/74k IOPS, respectively. MTBF is 1,5 million hours.

Drives are capable of operating at temperatures up to 70 degrees Celsius, and the manufacturer provides its new products with a three-year warranty.
