New Study Links Exercise to Reduced Appetite

A recent study by the University of Virginia reveals that specific exercises can significantly reduce appetite, akin to injections that modify hunger hormones. Researchers observed variations in ghrelin levels following high-intensity workouts, promoting further research in exercise and appetite regulation.


New Study Links Exercise to Reduced Appetite

A recent study published in the Endocrine Society journal showed that certain types of physical exercises can help reduce appetite just like injections that regulate hunger hormones, such as 'Ghrelin'. Researchers from the University of Virginia studied the effects of physical exercises on the hormone ghrelin, responsible for the feeling of hunger.

The researchers involved 14 adults aged 18 to 55 years who regularly engage in sports but are in good health. In conclusion, participants noted that they felt less hungry after intensive workouts. Researchers pointed out that despite the encouraging results, additional studies are needed to determine optimal ‘dosing’ of physical exercises capable of controlling appetite, especially in different age groups.

The study also indicated a rise in the population of injections regulating hunger hormones, such as 'Ghrelin', 'Vigofin', and 'Mongar', which are used by hundreds of thousands of people for weight loss. Participants were advised to refrain from eating at night, avoid heavy workouts, alcohol, tobacco, and caffeine for 12 hours before each test.

The results showed that intensive workouts (such as interval training with high intensity HIIT) were more effective in lowering 'ghrelin' hormone levels compared to moderate-intensity workouts. Researchers noted that exercises exceeding the 'lactate threshold' point, at which the body begins to tire quickly during training, may be necessary for reducing appetite.

In summary, the research revealed that engaging in physical exercises can indeed influence appetite, and high-intensity workouts may be an important factor in regulating feelings of hunger.
