MIAMI BEACH, FL - JULY 18: Jeff Baughman bites into his double cheeseburger with a Super Fries and a Super Coke on July 18, 2002 at a McDonalds in Miami Beach, Florida. The health effects of an American diet of super-sized fast foods are becoming apparent as increasing numbers of children and adults are being treated for obesity. Studies seem to point to the fact that many overweight children and adults get a large portion of their calories by consuming too many sodas and sweetened juices and beverages. Sweetened drinks + "super-sized" meals + the convenience of fast food + a decrease in physical activity = a recipe for obesity. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

Turns out that you can really be “hangry” and it’s not just from a drop in your blood sugar levels. See what a new study found out…

6ABC.comsays that a new study from the University of North Carolina says that being “hangry” is a real thing! The study found that being hungry can trigger an emotional response and it’s not just because of a drop in blood sugar. The study says that being hungry also causes your body “to release the stress hormones and adrenaline” and that the hungrier you are, the more stress hormones are released resulting in you being angry AND hungry. Angry + hungry = hangry.

If you have a history of being hangry, keep snacks nearby. Everybody will thank you! lol
