Important decisions should not be made while hungry.

German scientists have come to the conclusion that important decisions should not be made on an empty stomach. In their opinion, hunger pushes a person to take unnecessary risks.

At the moment of hunger and satiety, different parts of the brain are responsible for making decisions. Scientists conducted an experiment on fruit flies, which gave them the opportunity to understand the whole mechanism that forces people to take unnecessary risks.

These insects are instinctively afraid of carbon dioxide. It turned out that when insects feel hungry, they go to food, despite the presence of carbon dioxide nearby. Scientists call this the result of a compromise between two parts of the nervous system and explain that the same thing happens in humans.
