Reason #5,989,432 to Exercise: Decrease Hunger Pains, Increase Safety

I have started to work out yet again at a wonderful location in Pittsboro that focuses on wellness from a medical perspective and learned something new from my personal trainer this week: See Below!!

       There are multiple studies that are linking exercise to suppressed appetite, which means a double-whammy for calories as you burn them during exercise and consume less in your diet. 

The University of Campinas found that exercise increases two specific proteins in your hypothalamus that are responsible for appetite control. The presence of these proteins in the part of the brain that receives information from hunger hormones, such as leptin and insulin, allow your brain to become more sensitive to signals of hunger and satiety. This means that you are more accurate in your assessment of when to eat and when to stop.
Additionally, there is a concern that increasing exercise will initiate the feedback loop of calorie replacement, causing you to consume more calories post-exercise. The Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation found that participants who burned an extra 500 calories a day during the course of the study began to feel fuller quicker at each meal. 
Lesson learned from the above-mentioned studies: exercise regularly and listen to your body as it pertains to hunger and satiety. Taking care of your body with regular exercise, as well as healthy meal choices and portions, allows your body to become more efficient in secretion, delivery, and absorption of vital nutrients, enzymes and hormones.
