Important tips to control the hunger hormone

Weight gain can be countered by controlling the hunger hormone known as ghrelin, the Federal Center for Nutrition said.

The center explained that the hunger hormone "ghrelin" is a metabolic hormone that is produced in the lining of the stomach and pancreas, and it stimulates appetite and slows down the metabolism and fat burning process.

The hormone "Ghrelin" is secreted in abundance when exposed to psychological stress or sleep 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 satiety.

Ghrelin can be controlled by eating 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.

You should also not follow a strict diet;

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

It is also important to maintain exercise and motor activities;

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

This also applies to getting enough sleep at least 6 hours a night.
