If you miss out a meal, do you ever notice yourself starting to get angry or annoyed very easily Well, this is often known as being “hangry” or being angry because you are very hungry.
It’s not just a funny phrase, but is scientifically true! Scientists found this feeling of anger usually comes from having low glucose(葡萄糖) levels in the blood. Glucose is put into the body after you eat.
The brain also needs this to work correctly. When the body is low in glucose, the brain sends hormones(激素) to increase the amount of glucose in the body. Brenda Bustillos, a dietitian at Texas A&M University, the US, says, “Hunger leads to high stress hormones, which make it hard to manage our feelings.”
Amanda Salis, PhD, University of Sydney, says that we may also be able to thank our ancestors(祖先) for our “hanger”. Salis says that long ago when there was not much food, people had to be aggressive to eat as much as they could to get enough food to live. So even now when most people have enough food to eat, there is still that aggressive feeling toward needing food.

In today’s world of modern science and medicine, a more traditional treatment is once again becoming popular—animal friendship.
It is now well known that people with problems such as heart disease or cancer live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets. Keeping pets lowers blood pressure (压力) and makes people less worried. Animals are more and more important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain (脑部〉problems. These people often feel nervous and unhappy. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy,entertainment (娱乐)and loving friendship.
Here is a case that shows the good points of animals. John was a six-year-old mute. He had no physical (生理的)problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin,Ned,had a parrot called Sally,and John used to visit it. When he arrived,Net used to say,“Hi,John!” We all know parrots copy what they hear. After a few visits, Sally began saying “Hi,John!” when John came into the room. Then, one day, John turned to the parrot and replied “Hi, Sally!” Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.
Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases, animals are used to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases,they are used to teach children to get on and share with others, and even to teach them about animals.
If you want to know more about animal helper programmes, you can get in touch with organizations like Riding for the Disabled or do a search under “animal therapy” on the Internet. You don’t have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in.
