If you think your hunger has nothing to do with exercise, think again! Exercise creates an impact on your appetite. It can either increase or decrease it, depending on the intensity of workout, environment and body temperature, and of course your gender.

The higher the workout intensity and body temperature, the lesser you feel hungry. This means jogging in a cool morning or swimming in cold water can make you eat like a horse! On the other hand, a sweaty workout will make you take a smaller plate of food!

Not Feeling Hungry After Exercise? Bless Your Hormones!

The hypothalamus gland present in the brain secretes hormones during moderate to high intensity workout. (Working out for one hour, 3 times a week is moderate level of exercise.) These hormones suppress appetite. The hormones remain at elevated level for up to 15 hours! Moreover, when you work out, the blood from your stomach is taken and transported to other organs of the body.

So, those who can’t help with their habit of binge eating, start exercising from today!
