There are multiple benefits to exercise, which include both psychological and physical health benefits, but are there any others that we may not know about. Apart from the fact, that exercise helps in burning the excess calories that we need

There is now another benefit which you may not be aware of this happens at a cellular level within the neurons in your brain. So once you are doing it consistently as well as having better health and weight loss according to what this recent research says you are far more likely to eat less.

It’s been realised now that when you eat lots of fat within your diet this interferes with the hypothalamus within your brain, which controls your appetite. Somehow it interferes with the full signal from your stomach so as a consequence of this you tend to over eat more.

The researchers found that when they made obese rodents exercise it started to reverse the process within their brains, which had been caused excess fat intake when the rodents exercised it increased certain proteins within their brain, which help to regulate levels of leptin and insulin, which are all connected with appetite.

This interesting piece of research explains why when you eat too much fat within your diet it interferes with the proteins in your brain so naturally you tend to eat more of the wrong foods, especially if you do not exercise.

Have you noticed that when you exercise you tend to eat less food? I dare say that some people will probably say that due to the fact that they have done some exercise they will want to eat more.

Does it ring true for you that when you eat too much fatty food and don’t exercise you tend to become more hungry as a result? As always it would be nice to get some feedback because everybody is different as we all know.
