Why Do We Wake Up Hungry After Overeating?

The video explains the importance of glucose for the human body, highlighting its role as an energy source for organs, especially the brain. It discusses how carbohydrates, found in both sweet and non-sweet foods, contribute to glucose levels. The pancreas plays a crucial role by releasing insulin, which helps cells absorb glucose. Insulin is vital for maintaining blood sugar levels, and its imbalance can lead to metabolic issues, as seen in diabetes. Overeating causes a spike in blood sugar, prompting excess insulin production, which can lead to low blood sugar and hunger. The video also touches on the confusion between hunger and thirst, emphasizing the need for hydration.
