Myths About Exercises

There is a wrong myth that exercise stimulates appetite and you eat more, which is untrue.



Walking actually decreases appetite by several mechanisms –
  1. Too little exercise causes an increase in your appetite, by stimulating the appestat.



    Walking slows down the appestat and thus decreases hunger.
  2. Walking, directs more blood towards the exercising muscles and negligible amounts towards the stomach.



    And with less blood supply the stomach appestat is reduced.
  3. Strenuous exercises leads to low sugar levels by which your appestat is stimulated. But walking burns fat (not carbohydrates) and blood sugar remains constant and you do not feel hungry.
  4. When you diet or fast your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) decreases and your body burns fewer calories. But if you include walking in your daily regime your BMR can be elevated and more calories can be burned.



    Result: Less hunger and more calories burned when you walk daily.
