Exercise May Lower Appetite
Studies indicate that engaging in exercise temporarily suppresses appetite by reducing the hormone "ghrelin" and increasing hormones responsible for feelings of fullness. These effects last between 30 and 90 minutes. Although some people may feel hungry after a workout, this does not necessarily mean a significant increase in calorie intake to compensate for what was burned. Hunger can be managed by drinking water and consuming light snacks rich in protein and fiber. Overall, physical activity offers numerous health benefits and helps maintain energy balance when appropriate post-exercise nutrition is chosen.
