Apetite and Satiety

Researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern reported how high-fat food could alter brain signals that regulate apetite and satiety. Researchers gave mice and rats saturated and unsaturated fat, finding that the saturated fat made its way to the brain, where it blocked the ability of the hormone leptin to regulate food intake and body weight. 

The effect can last for days setting off a cycle of cravings and overeating. Making one feel out of control. Another reason to reach for the foods we know are good for us, body and soul. Truly how we feel about ourselves is reflected in what we put in our mouths. Skip the donuts go for a beautiful bowl of wheatberries. Don't know how to change your ways?  Read books, ask for help. I know I am here as a resource for anyone that asks.  xo ginny
