Sometimes it’s enough just to hear the sound of a knife and catch the delicious smell coming from the kitchen, and you start salivating. Olfactory receptors and oral cavity send impulses to the brain, which (in turn) orders the stomach to secrete the juice necessary for digestion. And the process began. Is it possible to resist him? How to dull the insatiable hunger? Turning to specialists, we decided to list the most common appetite provocateurs. After all, before defeating an enemy, you need to know him by sight. So, appetite is affected by:
Stress. The classic statement that all diseases are caused by nerves, is directly related to gluttons and fat people. As a rule, in response to strong excitement, our body secretes a large number of adrenaline, which inhibits the release gastric juice and sharply reduces the activity of the brain center that regulates appetite. If for any reason this system malfunctions and weakens, the exact opposite happens: the slightest excitement only excites a person’s already a good appetite. Therefore, stress is strictly contraindicated for subjects who are immoderate in their diet.
Seasonings and pickles. Among the appetite provocateurs are horseradish, mustard, vinegar, mayonnaise, as well as “complex” seasonings popular among housewives. Especially those that contain monosodium glutamate. By irritating the gastric mucosa, these and similar substances cause significant production of hydrochloric acid, which increases appetite. For those who want to lose weight, it is better to limit and even eliminate the use of seasonings. The same applies to aggravating the desire to eat herring, canned food, sour fruits and vegetable salads. It’s better to start your meal not with them, but with the main dish and only then move on to appetizers.
Carbonated drinks. The carbon dioxide contained in these drinks irritates the receptors in the stomach and mouth and only inflames our appetite. In addition, sweet soda is very high in calories. One jar can contain up to 8 pieces of sugar. Therefore, passion for such drinks is fraught with obesity and diabetes mellitus. In addition, carbon dioxide stimulates gastric secretion, increases the acidity of gastric juice, provokes flatulence and can even cause exacerbation of gastritis.
Alcohol. It’s not for nothing that savvy restaurateurs add a hefty portion of alcohol to their signature and regular dishes. After such a “warm-up”, any snack goes with a bang. Beer and vermouth are considered the most powerful provocateurs in this sense (bitterness increases appetite). If you have problems with your weight, it is better to drink these drinks cold and in small doses.
Night meals. It is no coincidence that all nutritionists in the world advise “giving dinner to the enemy”: on the one hand, in the evening all processes (including digestive) in our body slow down. What you eat before bedtime will lie like a stone in your stomach. And it will be put aside in reserve. On the other hand, with the onset of dusk, it is released into the blood growth hormone(growth hormone), which stimulates appetite. This is why many people who are awake at this time feel hungry. Try to go to the kingdom of Morpheus no later than 23 hours.
Insomnia. French scientists say: lack of sleep can lead to weight gain extra pounds. The point is in two hormones that regulate appetite and are produced during sleep. These are ghrelin, which is responsible for hunger and fat burning, and leptin, which regulates body fat and reduces appetite. Researchers found that a person who gets four hours of sleep two nights in a row increases ghrelin production by 28% and decreases leptin production by 18%. That is, lack of sleep increases the level of hormones that affect appetite, due to which we can gain weight.
Fatty food. Using fatty foods, we not only replenish our fat reserves, but also... provoke an increase in appetite. Recent animal tests have shown that when fat enters the body, a special enzyme is produced that activates the hunger hormone.
Medicines. Some appetite stimulants include: psychotropic substances(including antidepressants), insulin (hunger provokes a decrease in blood glucose), neurotropic antihypertensive drugs, anabolic steroids.
By the way
Sometimes increased appetite is a consequence of the characteristics of our metabolism. The worst situation is for those who have good lipoprotein lipase enzymes, which break down fats and send them to the fat depot. The more of this enzyme, the more active it is, the faster the processed fat is distributed and deposited throughout the tissues and the faster the body requires a new portion of calories.
They affect appetite and... the size of the stomach. For those who love to eat, it will simply be overstretched (up to 10 liters or more!). And a large stomach, as you know, requires an appropriate amount of food. You can force him to “shrink” even a little only through incredible efforts of will. Or using surgery to reduce stomach volume.
Perhaps soon not only self-hypnosis and giving up your favorite seasonings will help quell your ravenous appetite, but also... a special medicine. Scottish scientists are working on the creation of such a tool. The miracle drug contains a hormone that is produced in one of the parts of the brain - the hypothalamus. The first tests of the new drug on female monkeys brought encouraging results: after taking the hormone, the animals reduced their food intake by about a third. The new medicine also has another, very pleasant “side” effect - it increases sexual desire in women, so it will primarily be intended for women suffering from obesity and decreased libido.
Personal opinion
Elena Temnikova and Olga Seryabkina:
E.T.: For me it is better to starve than to eat anything. As for controlling my appetite, I try not to overeat. I know that otherwise I will feel bad.
O.S.: I like to eat delicious food. For me this is a ritual: in addition to pleasant communication have a delicious dinner with a friend or girlfriend. But if I know that I have a photo shoot, filming or something else coming up soon important event, then I control myself, I don’t allow too much at the table. Well, there are days when you can relax. The main thing is not to eat at night.
"AiF Health" advises
In order not to provoke your insatiable stomach and reduce the secretion of digestive enzymes that convert food into subcutaneous fat deposits:
>> Eat little and often.
>> Many people often confuse thirst with hunger. If you have an appetite after school hours, drink a glass of water and the desire to snack will disappear.
>> Don’t eat in a hurry, on the go. Food swallowed hastily does not fill you up. Spread out the pleasure and you'll feel full much faster.
>> Try to eat at the same time every day. Such punctuality will teach your stomach to work like a clock, secreting gastric juice only when it is really needed.
>> When eating, try not to be distracted by anything. Whether you're reading or watching TV, it's easy to lose control of what—and most importantly, how much—you eat.
>> Do not exhaust yourself with strict diets and fasting. Severe dietary restrictions will only whet your appetite.
>> You can deceive the feeling of hunger by chewing a sprig of dill, brushing your teeth with toothpaste before eating, or... choosing the right color scheme when decorating the kitchen and dining room. Yes, blue, green and white colors reduce appetite, red increases appetite.
>> Do not overuse appetite suppressants such as coffee, nicotine and sweets. This way of fighting appetite is a double-edged sword.
