Why do some of us constantly overeat and gain weight, while others stay normal? By stimulating the feeling of fullness in volunteers and analyzing the reaction of their brains at the same time, employees of the Brookhaven Biomedical National Laboratory (USA) noticed that overweight people are less likely than others to feel full, even when their stomach is full.
Why do some of us constantly overeat and gain weight, while others stay normal? By stimulating the feeling of fullness in volunteers and analyzing the reaction of their brains at the same time, employees of the Brookhaven Biomedical National Laboratory (USA) noticed that overweight people are less likely than others to feel full, even when their stomach is full. It turned out that they have reduced blood flow to the amygdala, one of the structures of the brain, and weakened nerve impulses that transmit information about satiety to the brain. Therefore, a person does not receive a “command” to stop eating in time. Scientists suggest that by acting on certain brain structures, they will be able to control chronic overeating. In the meantime, you should listen to your taste sensations and not miss the moment when it’s time to put the plate aside: try to do it a little earlier than usual, then overeating will not take place!
