HYDRATION TO BEAT HUNGER
Your body isn’t good at differentiating between thirst and hunger. If you find yourself always hungry, yet feel like you eat enough, drink more water!
The importance of drinking water and other fluids is always stressed during the warmer months to prevent dehydration. Unfortunately, many people drop that good habit when it gets cooler, thinking their body doesn’t need as much water. While the risk of dehydration in the winter months is low, it can increase hunger and ultimately calorie intake. On an empty stomach, ghrelin (a hunger hormone) is secreted as a message to our brain that food is needed. Drinking more water helps blunt this response because the stomach won’t be empty. Drink water, beat hunger.
