The importance of being satiated when losing weight

You have just eaten and in half an hour you are hungry again. Has this ever happened to you? Probably so, and so we should consider some simple aspects of this topic.

The feeling of hunger is regulated by the brain and several factors influence it, such as light cycles or anxiety. We are facing a process that is not just biological, as factors such as stress or anxiety determine our need to eat or, on the contrary, our lack of appetite.

Something that is interesting to know is that as soon as we start eating, the brain sends a series of hormones to the stomach and these hormones will indicate, after 20 minutes, that we are already full.

This means that it is important to chew slowly to promote salivation and the correct assimilation of nutrients in the digestion process. If we eat calmly and slowly, we put a smaller amount of food in the stomach and it satisfies in a short time.

We must also consider that foods rich in sugars, fats or refined flours have a low nutritional level. Besides, let’s get hungry again in no time.

Something as simple as  adding satisfying foods to our diet, such  as spinach, walnuts, pineapple, almonds or salmon, can make us go a few hours without feeling hungry again.
