Why do snacks increase our hunger?

"Belinda Liners, a specialist in endocrine glands and a researcher at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, explains:

The appearance, smell, or taste of some foods will stimulate the brain's response to food, which helps to initiate certain stomach operations that in turn will predict more food. In fact, eating a small amount of food, especially before a meal, will increase your appetite for food.

What are the snacks that make us feel hungry?

Potato chips, biscuits and bread:

potato chips

As you know, these foods contain carbohydrates treated, and when you eat these foods, the blood sugar rises, which makes the body to secrete large amounts of insulin to restore the sugar to normal, and insulin and the storage and storage of these sugars derived from food, which is a source Energy for the body, and because of the retention of this energy, your desire for food appear strongly, says Dr. David Ludwig:

The main culprit in restaurants is the bread basket.

Biscuits, cakes and pastries:

As a joke

Sugar (whether from natural sources such as honey or a plant such as table sugar) activates areas of reward and appetite in the brain in a way that is different from other energy sources, according to a study conducted by Yale University.

The study notes that the areas of the moth, hypothalamus, and cortex that are responsible for making you want to eat calm down after eating unless you eat sugars! Where these areas remain active. So the brain will tell the body that you are not yet satisfied, making you want to take more satisfaction.

Yogurt or light milk:

Yogurt

A number of studies have found that the length of chewing and the speed of eating your meals affect your feeling of fullness after you have eaten those meals. A report by a European-American research team confirmed that the level of the hormone ghrelin (or so-called hunger hormone) decreases with the increase in the period of chewing meals.

Because low-fat yogurt does not need to chew, the level of hunger hormone will not decrease after eating it, not to mention the presence of sugar and carbohydrates in it (even if it is low fat), which will stimulate you to eat more food.

Soft drinks and artificially sweetened meals:

Soft drinks

Experts have blunted the belief that calorie-free sweeteners do not negatively affect weight or metabolism. A recent Australian study found that when these artificial sweeteners touch your tongue, reward centers in the brain stimulate and send a signal to the stomach to expect some energy to arrive in the future But when you do not reach those calories, your brain will try to compensate for this imbalance by pushing you to eat more food to compensate for the resulting vacuum. Therefore, calorie-free sweeteners such as those found in diet soft drinks will increase N Joek dramatically.

The culture of snacks has not been able to achieve any desired benefit to reduce weight or curb the feeling of hunger, and it is no more than a consumer culture imposed on us through advertising and poor personal judgment. Remedies for suppressed hunger are those based on sport, where the sport produces hormones that eliminate hunger and burn fat at the same time.
