This Is One Best Way To Prevent Obesity
Know about the nutrients that help in preventing obesity here in this article.
You might think that skipping foods is the best way to lose weight and prevent obesity. But this is totally wrong. Having a healthy diet actually helps one to prevent obesity and manage their body weight.
Also, a new study has found that a diet rich in proteins may help prevent and treat obesity by reducing food intake.
According to the researchers from the Imperial College London in the UK who had conducted the study stated that a component of dietary protein, phenylalanine, can suppress appetite by affecting the release of appetite- regulating hormones in the gut.
Although high protein diets have been shown to be satisfying and to promote weight loss, they can be hard to maintain and may lead to other health problems in the long- term, researchers said.
Phenylalanine is an amino acid produced in the gut when protein is digested and has previously been shown to affect the release of gut hormones that reduce appetite in rodents.
However, it was unclear exactly how the amino acid was causing this release and whether other systems were involved in phenylalanine's appetite suppressing effects.
About The Study:
To investigate the effects of phenylalanine on appetite and gut hormone release, Professor Kevin Murphy and colleagues at Imperial College London examined the effect of the amino acid on food intake and brain activity in areas known to be involved in appetite regulation.
Mice were given phenylalanine, either orally or rectally, to assess the effects on different parts of the gut. Food intake was monitored at regular intervals over 24 hours and the amount of activity in brain areas associated with appetite regulation was also assessed.
Both oral and rectal phenylalanine reduced food intake of the mice and increased activation in a brain area known to be involved in regulating appetite, researchers said.
After rectal administration, even an amount of phenylalanine 10 times lower than would be eaten daily on a high protein diet, resulted in reduced food intake and activated the appetite regulating centres in the brain.
These data suggest that phenylalanine may reduce appetite through different pathways in the upper and lower gut. Although unknown whether phenylalanine has the same effects on human appetite, this research indicates that the amino acid may have an important role in regulating food intake that could be used to treat obesity.
"Diets high in protein are known to encourage weight loss but adhering to them can be difficult. Identifying the mechanisms that sense the protein may allow us to use drugs or functional foods to hijack appetite regulation, and treat obesity," said Norton, who conducted the study.
Meanwhile, take a look at a few of the home remedies for obesity and weight loss here.
