Hunger can affect heart rate, particularly when food cues are present after a period of food deprivation.
Here's a breakdown of how hunger can influence heart rate:
The provided reference suggests that a period of food deprivation can affect heart rate. Specifically, the study mentions:
- Both groups showed an increase in heart rate following a period of food deprivation.
- Only those subjected to a 24-hour period of food deprivation and exposed to food cues showed a significant increase in heart rate.
This suggests that the presence of food cues after a period of hunger may play a crucial role in significantly impacting heart rate.
