New research from Surrey University and Imperial College London
recently published in the Journal of Endocrinology shows that
exercising after meals boosts the release of hormones called PYY,
GLP-1 and PP, which tell the brain when the stomach is full.
Exercise has always been considered important as part of any weight
loss program, mainly to burn calories and keep the body healthy, but
this new research indicates that exercise can actually suppress the
appetite as well as all its other benefits.
In the past, people thought that exercise actually increased appetite.
This new research shows people who exercised were inclined to eat
slightly more during their next meal, but when the calories burned off
during exercise was taken into consideration; the total calories
consumed were less than people who didn't exercise. What's more, the
people who exercised didn't feel as hungry between meals.
As researcher Dr Denise Robertson puts it "Our research shows that
exercise may alter people's appetite to help them lose weight and
prevent further weight gain as part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle."
To help stay fit and healthy most experts recommend people do at least
30 minutes of physical activity at least five days a week. Now there's
the added incentive to include exercise as part of your calorie
controlled diet and weight loss program.
