Welcome to another episode of Dear Blocko!

This is the show where I answer your questions about your world and my world!

在這節目，我會為你解惑，那些來自你的世界與我的世界的問題！

Simon F Asks: #DearBlocko what happens when we go to sleep hungry?

Simon F 問說：親愛的 Block，如果餓著肚子去睡覺會怎樣？

Well, even though we may be unconscious, our bodies are still hard at work when we're sleeping, repairing cells and creating muscle, but to do this they need energy, which comes from food.

這個嘛，雖然睡覺時沒有意識，但我們的身體其實仍在努力修復細胞、製造肌肉，但它們需要能量來做這些事，而能量來自食物。

Going to bed with an empty stomach limits the energy required to perform these tasks, which may cause you to lose muscle mass.

空腹睡覺就會缺少足夠的能量來做這些事，這可能導致肌肉流失。

Going to bed hungry can also affect your sleep.

If your stomach is empty, it may strongly contract, leading to hunger pains.

如果胃是空的，可能會有強烈收縮，而引起飢餓胃痛。

These can keep you alert and can make it difficult to fall asleep or to get into a deep sleep, making you feel tired the next day.

這可能會讓你很難入睡，或無法進入深層睡眠，導致隔天精神不濟。

And, I know this sounds a little weird, but going to bed hungry can make you gain weight.

還有，這聽起來可能有點怪，但空腹睡覺可能反而會讓你變胖。

This is because when you wake up feeling really hungry, you tend to grab whatever is easiest rather than making yourself a healthy, well-balanced meal.

原因是，若你起床時非常餓，你通常會抓到什麼就吃，而不是好好地幫自己準備一份健康又營養均衡的早餐。

This often leads to eating the donuts on the counter instead of cooking up a veggie omelet.

這常常導致你隨便買個甜甜圈來吃，而不是為自己做一份蔬菜煎蛋餅。

So, if you're feeling hungry before bed, eat something!

所以，如果睡前覺得餓，就吃點東西吧！

Recent studies seem to suggest that nutrient-dense, low-energy foods are best!

近期的研究指出，高營養、低熱量的食物最棒！

Second Question up, AJ asks: #DearBlocko why do I get hungrier in the winter?

第二個問題，AJ 問：親愛的 Blocko，為什麼我冬天會比較餓？

A lot of people tend to eat more in the winter, and there are a few different theories as to why.

許多人在冬天都會吃比較多，原因可以由幾個理論來解釋。

Some researchers think that it's a primitive instinct to stockpile calories in order to stay warm, like how a bear gorges itself before hibernation.

某些研究者認為，人類的天性之一就是儲存熱量來保暖，就像熊會在冬眠前大吃特吃。

Others believe it has to do with the depressing cold and dark atmosphere of winter and that we seek out comfort foods in order to feel.. well, comforted.

也有人認為，這跟冬天惱人的低溫與陰鬱的氣氛有關，使得我們會吃安慰食品，來尋求慰藉。

That's why we typically crave foods high in carbohydrates and calories.

這就是為什麼，我們會想要吃高碳水化物與高熱量食物的原因。

Or it may simply stem from opportunity: there's a lot more food around due to all the holidays and so we eat more.

又或者只是跟機會多寡有關，冬天有許多節慶，所以我們會吃比較多。

Instead of normal question about my world like I usually do, I wanted to take the time to say that not everyone is lucky enough to have enough food to eat.

今天這集，與其回答關於我的世界的問題，我想要談談，並不是每個人都幸運地有食物可以吃。

It's important to give to those who don't have as much in your world.

施予給那些在你的世界擁有的並沒有那麼多的人，是很重要的。

There are many people - like the 550,000 people living homeless in the U.S. - who are forced to go to sleep hungry every night.

有很多人，例如美國 550,000 個無家可歸的人，每天晚上都得餓著肚子睡覺。

They, and millions of other Americans, rely on food initiatives like food pantries and soup kitchens to get by.

這些人，與其他數百萬的美國人，只能依賴糧食行動才能獲得食物，如食物儲藏室與湯品廚房。

Winters are hard enough without a warm place to stay.

沒有可以遮風避雨的家，已經讓冬天變得難以生存了。

So, this holiday season, keep in mind those who go to bed hungry every night and look for ways to help.

所以，在這個節慶季節，記住還有那些餓著肚子入睡的人，並找方法幫助他們吧！

Donate time, money, or items to reputable organizations, or check with your local food bank or kitchen.

捐出你的時間、金錢或物品給有聲望的機構，或是與當地的食物銀行聯繫。

How long could one survive only eating candy?

若一個人只吃糖果，可以活多久？

Well according to webMD, sweets can be a part of a healthy lifelong eating pattern.

根據 WebMD，甜點可以當成維生的食物之一。
