A recent study from the University of South Australia revealed that just a handful of almonds can help prevent weight gain, even when losing weight is a thankless task.
Researchers who have studied how almonds alter human appetite have found that eating 30 to 50 grams of almonds can reduce your daily calorie intake.
The study, published in the European Journal of Nutrition, found that people who ate almonds instead of energy-equivalent carbohydrate snacks reduced their energy expenditure by 300 kilojoules at their next meal, largely due to junk food. It was something.
Dr. Sharayah Carter of UniSA’s Exercise, Nutrition and Activity Research Alliance (ARENA) said the study provides valuable insight into weight management.
“Overweight and obesity rates are major public health concerns, and regulating appetite through improved hormonal responses may be key to promoting weight management,” said Dr. Carter. rice field.
“Our study looked at appetite-regulating hormones and how nuts, especially almonds, contribute to appetite control,” he added.
“People who ate almonds experienced hormonal changes that regulate their appetite, and we found that these may have contributed to a decrease in food intake (300 kJ).
Worldwide, 9 billion people are overweight and 650 million are obese. According to this study, almond consumption was associated with decreased levels of C-peptide response (47% decreased), increased levels of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (18% increased), glucagon (39% increased), and Pancreatic Polypeptide Response.
A C-peptide response can improve insulin sensitivity and lower the risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Sends satiety signals to the brain, both of which promote weight loss.
“Almonds are rich in protein, fiber and unsaturated fatty acids, which may contribute to feelings of fullness and help explain why they consume fewer calories.” Dr. Carter said eating algae slightly altered people’s energy intake, which could have long-term clinical benefits.
“Even small, positive lifestyle changes can have long-term effects. Making small, sustainable changes is more likely to improve your overall health in the long run.” .
“Almonds are a great healthy snack to include in your daily diet. I have,” he added.
