Health psychological: daily exercise may help regulate the appetite of the body, which is expected to prevent overeating

February 7, 2020 / BIOON / -- it may be very difficult to follow the diet weight loss plan Many factors will lead to eating disorders, which will lead to weight loss Failure; researchers have some differences on whether physical exercise can increase the risk of disease or protect the body against eating irregularities Although some studies have shown that exercise can lead to overeating by increasing appetite or promoting a person's eating, other studies have shown that exercise can regulate the body's hunger and help reduce overeating Photo source: Recently, in a research report published in the international journal Health Psychology, scientists from Drexel University and other institutions found that exercise may be a protective factor for people involved in weight-loss programs In this study, researchers asked people to follow a low calorie diet to lose weight Participants exercise in the real world Researcher Rebecca Crochiere said that almost all behavioral weight-loss programs require exercise, because exercise is good for your health, and it can also help you burn or burn calories Interestingly, this study shows that exercise can help you stick to a low calorie diet by improving your appetite or eating habits, which may increase if you want to lose weight The reason for exercise Exercise can prevent overeating If participants don't exercise, the risk of overeating in the next few hours is 12%, but when participants exercise for 60 minutes, the risk of overeating will be reduced by more than half, or 5% For every 10 minutes of exercise, participants were 1% less likely to overeat within a few hours of exercise In the study, researchers used new methods to collect data from 130 participants, including ecological instantaneous assessment The data were sent to participants' smartphones several times a day to measure their binge eating and to measure their exercise using a fitness tracker on their hips The results may help researchers better understand when people who want to lose weight are at risk of overeating, and help guide the development of treatments to prevent overeating and promote weight loss, said researcher crochiere Relevant research results represent the patterns observed by the researchers in the whole sample In the future, the goal of the researchers is to investigate whether the effect of exercise on eating behavior varies from person to person Finally, researcher crochiere said that the effect of exercise on eating behavior may depend on the intensity of exercise, and light physical exercise (relative to moderate to severe exercise) is effective Of course, more in-depth studies are needed to confirm this Original sources: crochiere, Rebecca J., Kerrigan, Stephanie g., Lampe, Elizabeth W., et al Is physical activity a risk or protective factor for subsequence dietary lapses among behavioral weight loss participants?
