Understanding Winter Cravings and Their Impact on Appetite and Eating Habits
During winter, many people experience increased cravings for carbohydrate-rich and comfort foods like parathas, rice, and sweets. This is influenced by factors such as reduced daylight, changes in mood and sleep patterns, hormonal shifts affecting hunger regulation, and decreased physical activity. While cold weather prompts these cravings, it does not necessarily increase the body's calorie needs. Seasonal affective disorder may intensify such symptoms, but winter cravings alone are not indicative of this condition.
