Did You Know? Your stomach makes a rumbling sound called "borborygmus" when you are hungry — that is the sound of air and liquids moving through your digestive system. It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to realize your stomach is full, which is why eating slowly is a good idea. People in ancient times could go several days without food in emergencies.
