Too hot to be hungry: why our appetite shrinks in the summer heat
June 23, 2026
When temperatures soar, many people find their appetite suddenly plummets. The idea of eating a hot meal becomes the last thing our minds when the heat becomes too much to bear.
This doesn’t happen because the body is being fussy. The key reason why the simple act of eating becomes so unappealing to us in the heat largely has to do with the body working to keep running and avoid overheating.
In order for our metabolism and many other physiological functions to perform correctly, the body needs to maintain an average internal body temperature of 37°C. Body temperature is tightly controlled by the brain’s temperature control centre, the hypothalamus.

The magic of blueberries
Don't forget about blueberries. It's one of the ultimate superfoods to add to your shopping list. These little berries pack a massive punch. They are low in calories and have a low glycemic index, meaning they won't trigger blood sugar spikes. Even better, they are loaded with soluble fibre, which works to support healthy digestion and keep you feeling full and satisfied longer. Toss them into some natural Greek style yoghurt, blend them into a shake, or just eat them on their own. They will help support your weight loss and wellness goals.
