We've all heard someone say “I've really worked up an
appetite today!” but did you realize that the opposite is actually more
accurate?
A good workout can reduce hunger pangs and cravings. A new study out of Brigham Young University
proves that women who exercised for 45 minutes in the morning had little desire
for food after the workout. The
findings indicate exercise might change how “reward” networks in the brain
react to the sight of food.
As an added bonus, not only did morning cardio reduce hunger
and cravings, it also increased each woman’s activity levels throughout the
day.
Morning? Argggh! Not being a highly effective morning person
this is not good news for me. But the
conundrum is that maybe if I did work out in the morning I could be a better
morning person.
I have also heard conflicting reports on working out in
the mornings … so I am going to take this one as interesting information and
work out according to my own preferences.
