How to control the hunger hormone to face weight gain?.. 4 golden tips

Experts at the German Federal Center for Nutrition confirmed that weight gain can be countered by controlling the hunger hormone known as ghrelin.

They explained that ghrelin is a metabolic hormone produced in the lining of the stomach and pancreas, which stimulates appetite and slows down the metabolism and fat burning process.

The hormone "Ghrelin" is secreted in abundance when exposed to psychological stress or sleeping too little, or not eating for a long time, and it also increases the desire to eat fast food and sweets, and at the same time delays the natural feeling of fullness.

The hormone "ghrelin" can be controlled through the following tips:

1- Eat healthy food regularly;

This contributes to maintaining the balance of the hunger hormone and blood sugar, which reduces severe hunger attacks.

For this purpose, it is necessary to eat main meals rich in proteins and dietary fibres, with healthy inter-meals such as nuts and low-fat dairy products such as yogurt.

2- You should not follow a strict diet;

Because it leads to an imbalance in the metabolism, and then an increase in the secretion of the hormone "ghrelin".

3- It is important to keep practicing sports and motor activities;

Because it fights stress, which is one of the main factors leading to the secretion of the hormone "ghrelin".

4 - This applies to taking a sufficient amount of sleep at least six hours at night.
