Why does extreme acute stress reduce your appetite?

When you're under extreme acute stress—the immediate kind (such as a car accident) that triggers a fight-or-flight response, your body produces norepinephrine to speed your heart rate, breathing, and 100-yard dash time to escape a saber tooth tiger. When that happens, the last thing you're thinking about is grilling up some tubers on the campfire, so your hunger levels are squashed. That's because your body inhibits the peptide NPY (which decreases metabolism and increases appetite) during periods of acute stress (it's why exercise cuts appetite, because your body senses you're in acute stress).

So high levels of acute stress work in favor of your waist: it takes away your appetite and speeds up your metabolism.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
