No appetite and weakness causes. General condition disorders
Many people these days notice that they have no appetite at all. What to do in such a situation? Before taking any action, it is necessary to find out what is the reason for the absolute absence of hunger.
Why did the appetite disappear?
Loss of appetite is not always associated with some serious illness. Here are some of the most common causes of this condition:
1. Overeating. No matter how much has been written and said about the benefits of a balanced diet, few people follow the number of calories. In addition, many people are accustomed to eating everything that is on the plate, even if you no longer feel like it. And others are accustomed to constant snacking “in between times”. All this leads to the fact that when the time comes for the next meal, the body simply does not need additional calories, and the feeling of hunger does not wake up.
2. Poor quality food. This is another reason why there is no appetite. What to do in this case? Firstly, give up fast food, sandwiches, chips and other unhealthy “goodies”. The abuse of sweet, fatty and dry foods leads to the fact that the secretion of the digestive glands is disturbed, a phenomenon such as reflux occurs (food is thrown back into the higher sections of the gastrointestinal tract), and fermentation and decay processes begin in the intestines. As a result, there is a permanent background discomfort, due to which a person physically cannot experience the feeling of hunger.
3. Overwork and stress. Physical and emotional fatigue, worries, feelings of depression - all this beats the craving for food completely. Therefore, be sure to ensure that the loads in your daily routine reasonably alternate with rest, both active and passive.
4. Diseases of the digestive system. Peptic ulcer, gastritis, cholecystitis, enterocolitis and others lead to indigestion, which also leads to loss of appetite.
5. Pregnancy. In the first trimester, women often do not experience hunger due to toxicosis. And in recent months, the situation is very common when the uterus squeezes the stomach, reducing its volume. As a result, even after eating a small amount of food, a feeling of fullness arises, which creates the illusion of a lack of appetite.
As for serious diseases, then, of course, the lack of hunger can be a symptom of one of them. However, as a rule, severe illnesses bring with them a whole “bouquet” of unpleasant symptoms (general weakness, rapid unreasonable weight loss, and others). Therefore, do not worry ahead of time, it is better to analyze all other reasons again and think about what is the reason for your indifferent attitude to food.
So, you realized that you have no appetite lately. What to do? Official and traditional medicine offer several recommendations for those who wish to regain their normal appetite.
First, review your diet. Your diet should be complete so that the body receives all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals it needs. It is best to eat homemade food, steamed or boiled dishes. Your menu must include fruits, vegetables, juices and dairy products. It is important to stop snacking and not overeat. It is not for nothing that doctors so insistently advise eating in small portions, but often (5-6 times a day).
There is another trick that will help you overcome the lack of appetite. "What to do?" - you ask? Everything is extremely simple. There is even a special concept in cooking - “aperitif”. In simple terms, this is an appetizer that is eaten before main courses to improve appetite. Ideal as an aperitif, a salad of fresh vegetables, a few tablespoons of a spicy snack or a slice of lemon is suitable.
Do not underestimate the role of spices as your assistants. They not only improve the aromatic and taste qualities of dishes, but are also very useful. Many of them help the digestive system digest food better, cleanse blood vessels and blood, break down bad cholesterol, and saturate the body with vitamins. For example, horseradish improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and helps in the treatment of diseases of the kidneys and liver, and bay leaf strengthens the immune system. Literally each of the spices known to us has its own beneficial properties that you can use for yourself.
Do not panic if you already partially know what to do in such situations. But, in addition to all of the above, the problem may lie in abnormal blood sugar levels and a lack of certain vitamins (in particular, vitamin C). Therefore, it will be useful to start drinking ascorbic acid. A tablet of this remedy must be taken 30-40 minutes before. before the meal.
Some people seeking to increase food cravings resort to the help of pharmacy bitters. They are sold without a prescription and act as irritants to the stomach receptors, thus increasing appetite.
There are also folk recipes that will help you if you have no appetite. What to do and how to take them? Here are the main tools that help to cope with the problem in most cases:
Pour a teaspoon of crushed bitter wormwood with a glass of boiling water. The infusion must be kept for half an hour before use, and then drink a tablespoon of medicine before meals (3 rubles / day).
We buy crushed dandelion roots. Pour two teaspoons of raw materials with a glass of cold water and insist for 8 hours. The remedy is taken four times a day, a quarter cup.
It is necessary to squeeze the juice from four carrots and a bunch of watercress, dilute the resulting liquid with clean water in a ratio of 1: 1. Take before a meal.
When should you see a doctor?
If, in addition to the lack of a natural feeling of hunger, you observe other disturbing symptoms (pain, weakness, nausea, weight loss), do not waste time trying to cope with the problem at home. It is better to undergo an examination as soon as possible and find out why the body failed, and then undergo the appropriate course of treatment.
Viral infection is considered one of the most common diseases. Loss of appetite can be a symptom of this disease. Starting with a runny nose and cough, SARS can turn into a more complex form. A high temperature also indicates the development of an infection.

More often this disease affects young girls, teenagers, striving for fashion trends. Desire turns into an obsession with such people. Thinness becomes unhealthy. Treatment consists of physical and psychological recovery.

Food poisoning can often become a serious problem. Fever, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhea are symptoms of intoxication. Usually poisoning occurs due to spoiled products.
Atherosclerosis
This disease is accompanied by loss of appetite, increased blood pressure, headaches, kidney failure. The cause of the disease is the accumulation of cholesterol in the arteries and blood vessels. They form plaques that interfere with the harmonious functioning of the body. These plaques connect to tissues, extending the health impact.

Crohn's disease
This is one of the most complex diseases of our time. It is expressed in the form of an inflammatory process, which is very acute. The main lesions are the organs of the digestive system and intestinal tract. The intestines may cease to function permanently. Adverse symptoms are expressed in loss of appetite, systematic migraine, aching joints and spine.
A good appetite is one of the signs of health. And although many do not attach much importance to a decrease in appetite, this factor may indicate a disorder of body functions or emerging diseases. But, suppose that none of the doctors could tell you the reason why your appetite is decreasing and you are not even able to gain weight.
Coldness to food, if it is constantly present, will definitely disturb you and lower the level of vitality. It is hard to imagine a person who does not leave the gym or is able to work for 12 hours and raise three more children and still not eat anything))).
But in most everyday situations, it is possible to eliminate this symptom, restore vitality and normalize body weight by cleansing the body and harmonizing metabolic processes.
This is our article, based on the experience of hundreds of people who have already used the Sokolinsky System. It is not aimed at a symptom - a decrease in appetite, but at eliminating the possible reasons why the body sends such signals.
The main causes of lack of appetite and what can be done
Loss of appetite is not a disease, but may be a symptom of a deeper disorder in the body. Among the reasons that most often cause a decrease in craving for food, in practice we see several main reasons:
1. Violation of the liver and gallbladder. Discomfort in the right side, heartburn, bitterness in the mouth, intolerance to fatty foods, bloating are typical symptoms and are accompanied by a loss of interest in food. The body can not cope with the digestion of food and therefore asks "do not send more." You will find a recipe for using natural remedies with a tendency to stagnation of bile and in the presence of gallbladder stones, and to support the liver at a deep level, we always use Liver 48.
This is a herbal formula of herbs, sulfur and iron with a history of use for several centuries, it is now being produced specifically for the Sokolinsky Center and helps to harmonize the work of the liver when it is hard.
2. Problems with the intestines and stomach. Everyone knows that when you don’t go to the toilet normally, then food arises, if not disgust, then you definitely won’t eat much. With irritable bowel syndrome or chronic constipation, gastritis, the trouble is not only that the appetite falls, but also there is no normal absorption of nutrients. From here there is no strength, immunity is violated, there is no way to gain weight.
At the same time, maintaining normal bowel function is not so difficult if you adhere to a reasonable diet and use natural remedies. Follow a natural course of cleansing and nutritional support.
3. Chronic stress. When you are busy with work or worries, that is, you usually do not want to. But if the stress lasts for months, then the loss of appetite can become uncontrollable. But there is a deep solution to this problem, when with the help of a unique set of Bulgarian herbs Nevrolaxin and natural remedy Biolan we protect nerve cells from damage. They are part of our copyright "". Of course, no herbs can change your attitude to the problem, but it is possible to give time to solve it calmly, to support the energy of the body when you need to get together.
5. Lethargy of appetite and digestion is associated with reduced thyroid function. If you live in conditions of iodine deficiency and do not take the thyroxine prescribed by the endocrinologist, you can use the combination of Biolan + the natural precursor of the thyroxine hormone - the amino acid Tyrosine and Spirulina Sochi with selenium in the initial stages of hypothyroidism (at least 30% of women over the age of 40 are in this state) . The course is 2-3 months. But Biolan we take 1 capsule per day (poured under the tongue) for only 20 days every month, and Tyrosine and Spirulina Sochi selenium every day.
Diseases and hormonal changes
Loss of appetite can be observed in many diseases, ranging from viral infections and influenza, to such serious diseases as kidney failure, heart failure, cirrhosis, hepatitis, etc. Decreased appetite is often a symptom of inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract. The desire to eat also disappears in case of autoimmune diseases (scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis), problems with the endocrine system (diabetes, hypothyroidism), tuberculosis, asthma and many other diseases. Moreover, in some cases, it is the loss of appetite that is the first signal of a developing disease.
Emotional states and mental pathologies
Appetite can disappear with a wide variety of psychological problems and due to nervous overexertion. Stress, depression, phobias, neurosis and other conditions can lead to loss of appetite. Also, this problem can occur with mental illness, such as anorexia, schizophrenia, dementia, etc. But this is not the topic of our article.
Taking medications
Lack or excess of substances needed by the body
The cause of loss of appetite can be both hypovitaminosis and hypervitaminosis. In addition, even a lack or excess of any one substance can affect appetite. For example, interest in food often disappears with a lack of zinc. This can be corrected by taking the mineral in an easily digestible form of Spirulina Sochi Zinc, only 1 tablet per day, in the afternoon, without combining it with cereals and tea in time.
A similar situation occurs when the body is oversaturated with vitamin D. To reduce the risk of overdose, with long-term vitamin D intake, such as osteoporosis, we recommend using a high-tech liposomal aerosol formula. It is not sold in pharmacies, but the Sokolinsky Center can order vitamin D in an aerosol for safe use.
Why does appetite decrease?
Loss of appetite may be the only sign of a pathological condition, but is most often accompanied by other symptoms. For example, in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting, bloating, belching, pain sensations first occur, and subsequently, against this background, a fear of eating develops and appetite disappears. This is typical for ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, gastritis, pancreatitis, colitis and other diseases.
If at first the appetite disappeared, and soon the temperature rose, general weakness appeared, this may indicate ARVI, influenza, colds. When, along with a deterioration in appetite, there is a decrease in vitality in general (drowsiness, fatigue), there may be problems with the endocrine system.
Thus, if the problem is chronic and not associated with mental pathology, then it is quite possible to cope with it by natural means through the impact on the causes. If this is a side effect of drugs, consult a doctor, and the same should be done when the failure of appetite is accompanied by acute manifestations of infections or pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract.

Appetite comes with eating, but not for everyone. And the very lack of appetite as such does not bode well. Usually, when a person eats little or does not eat at all, he is sick. Seeing a doctor in this case is a must. Another thing is that the choice of a doctor can confuse you. It depends on what reason you are not eating. Food refusers can visit a large number of doctors - these are psychiatrists, neuropathologists, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, nutritionists. Refusal to eat affects all the functions of your body, and not just the stomach, as many people think.
But you have to understand that lack of appetite refers to the unconscious or conscious systematic refusal of food. If you don’t want to eat porridge for two days in a row, you liked ham more - this is not a disease, failure or pathology. But if your weight drops sharply due to malnutrition, you are indifferent even to your favorite treat, food does not bring you a feeling of satiety or satisfaction - these are signs of a serious deviation. It is very difficult to diagnose some forms of the disease. And to cure this or that ailment on your own is a very bad idea. A qualified doctor, and better not one - that's the way out of this situation.
Causes of loss of appetite
- Stomach problems, such as gastritis, ulcers, stomach cancer, may well be the reason for refusing to eat. Doctors can make the last diagnosis if the patient eats very little for a long time, loses weight before his eyes, or eats something that he never wanted before: chalk, coal, etc.
- The psychological reason for refusing food can be sitophobia. It occurs, for example, if a chronic ulcer, experiencing pain when eating food, stops eating it. Also, sitophobia can be provoked by psychological trauma or mental illness.
- Anorexia - loss of appetite during dietary intake. Most women and only a small percentage of men suffer from this condition. It is mental and hard enough to cure. Complete exhaustion of the body, physical, moral and mental, which often leads to death, is the result of a long hunger strike. Anorexia is one of the most dangerous diseases in the world, it is not easy to diagnose, because people suffering from this disorder think they are completely healthy. This is what sometimes causes severe forms of the disease, after which it is very difficult to recover and return to normal life. Girls who have been ill with anorexia, with great difficulty, adapt again to the "normal appetite".
In all cases of refusal to eat, you should immediately consult a doctor. The sooner the disease is diagnosed, the sooner help from doctors will arrive.
What is appetite? Types of Appetite
From Latin, this word can be translated as "aspiration." The lexical meaning of the word “appetite” is a sensation, a feeling that makes a living being saturate its body with nutrients, first of all from a moral point of view and only then from a physical one.
The hypothalamus is the part of the brain responsible for food control. A person's desire to be satisfied comes from the brain, not from the stomach. That is why most diets are based on psychological training, which teaches you to refuse excess food "in the head."
Appetite is of two types - general and specialized. General appetite is the desire of a person to eat all kinds of foods. The second type of appetite is more specialized and selective. In the second case, you can understand what your body lacks - proteins, fats or carbohydrates.
How to deal with lack of appetite?
The folk method of returning appetite is the first thing that comes to your mind. But first, it is better to consult a doctor.
- In order to understand what you want, concentrate and remember all your favorite dishes and foods. If in this case you didn’t feel anything and didn’t want to eat something tasty, then your road should be laid to the market or to the supermarket.
- Walk through each department, especially carefully look at those that you have not entered before. Perhaps some product from there will interest you.
- The next way to eat a little, albeit artificially, is to visit friends. During the holidays, there are always many dishes on offer. Try the ones you've never eaten before. And you feel good, and the hostess will be pleased that you gobble up her cooking.
- Another way out is to change the kitchen. And best of all go to ethnic restaurants and cafes. Who knows, you might be attracted to Indian or Moroccan food.
- Traditional medicine does not always bear fruit when it comes to appetite, so the very first step you will need to take is to see a doctor.
Lack of appetite has a whole bunch of reasons, ranging from minor poisoning to prolonged depression. In this case, we do not recommend treating with decoctions and grandmother's tinctures. Medical assistance is the only right choice.
Food should bring a person not only energy and nourish his body, but also his soul. The pleasure of this or that food makes a person truly happy. Think American timed hot dog eating contests. These people are ready to eat dozens of hot dogs and that makes them happy. Let your food saturate you both physically and spiritually. And if you don't want to see her anymore, go see a doctor.. Do not get sick and quickly return to yourself the set table and the guests at it.
Food must be taken in sufficient quantities. Food is strength, health, mind, endurance. By skipping meals, we deprive the body of those substances that it needs so much. Where else to take strength, except from food? Unfortunately, man has not yet learned (and is unlikely to ever learn) to draw energy from sunlight for his body.
The reasons for which may be different - the problem is very common. In some cases, a person seems to understand that he will feel bad without food, but he cannot force himself to eat. This is not about any mental disorders (for example, anorexia), but about the state when there is no urge to eat.
In adults and children, it can appear completely unexpectedly. In some cases, the cause is not always easy to determine. What to do if the reason is clear? You just need to remove it, and everything will return to normal.
Lack of appetite: causes
Problems with eating can arise due to some kind of disease. It's not just about indigestion or any other digestive organs - a common cold can lead to loss of appetite. When sick, a person cannot eat, but in order to recover, he needs to eat normally. So it turns out that in such a situation it is necessary even through force.
Loss of appetite, the causes of which we are considering, can be caused by severe stress. This is quite understandable, since severe stress affects the state of the whole organism. Also, the causes include mental disorders like depression and apathy. They are directly related to the fact that a person loses the desire to live, move and seeks to move away from the outside world in every possible way. The mood in such cases is always bad. Refusal of food can last for a very long time, and the consequences will be that you will lose weight and weaken. Without healthy food, it is very difficult to beat a mental disorder.
Loss of appetite, the causes of which are not always easy to determine, often occurs in people who move very little. Try to work physically - you will instantly want to eat, and very much. Moving, a person burns a large amount of energy, which, in turn, receives from food. Hunger is a signal that it's time to eat. What can a person who sits at home all day long expect? Yes, problems with appetite are guaranteed to him.
Periodically, the appetite disappears in pregnant women. This is quite normal and there is nothing abnormal in it.
How to increase appetite?
First of all, I would like to advise you to move as much as possible. Sports are encouraged. No one forces you to become athletes - even a banal run will have a lot of benefits.
Loss of appetite caused by stress can only be cured with rest. Take a vacation and go somewhere where you really feel good. It is important to unwind and move away from the gray everyday life as much as possible. The same can be recommended for depression. New experiences will help you fall in love with life again and restore your appetite.
Reception of vitamin and mineral complexes is recommended. Force yourself to eat fruit, meat, fish. Be sure to drink milk - it's really a wonderful product. Healthy food, consumed even through force, will help you quickly return to normal.
If there is a suspicion of any disease, be sure to go to the doctor and do all the necessary tests. Remember that health issues are very important. Give them maximum attention, and no ailments will cause you trouble.
