Obesity Treatment

Experts from the Center for Biomedical Research on Obesity and Nutrition in Santiago say that there is a difference between hunger and appetite. They argue that hunger is a fundamental physiological need for any human being, while the appetite is the desire to eat for pleasure.

In gluttony, several factors as smell, taste, or different eating habits that may incite our minds and generate need for food and consequently appetite.

For this reason, scientists stress that the key to prevent or combat obesity, it is necessary to have control over your appetite and not hunger.

Miguel Lopez, a member of Compostela middle group, said that the problem of obesity lies in the excessive consumption of food combined with lack of physical exercise or sports.

Also highlighted that certain foods “hook” to people and become irresistible, such as candy, sweets, snacks, coffee or saturated fats.

They have really negative effects on body mass, but may end up in some people generate as strong an addiction as drugs or gambling.

For all these reasons, it should be smarter than hunger, try to eat right and need to fill your stomach and avoid the excesses caused by our greed and the need to eat by mere appetite.

Taking a balanced, healthy diet, complemented with sports or exercise daily, it is possible to combat overweight and the large number of diseases it causes.
