It is the time we understood the very basic fact that it is only the feeling of hunger that keeps running the world.
Eat when feeling hungry. Certain acids are generated in the body while food is required indicating the feeling of hunger.
Only if you eat after experience the feeling of hunger, the food will get digested completely and all the nutrients and health aspects will get absorbed in the system. This function does not really happen when you take food without the feeling of hunger. So, it is always advisable to eat whenever feeling hungry.
It is a fact that the activity of the digestion system commences as soon as we feel the hunger and decide to eat. Even before we decide on the kind of food and have a look, smell and taste it, the digestion system gets ready for operation even while starting the eating session.
There is no link between the shape of the body and the quantity of food eaten. If an individual keeps eating a larger quantity of food continuously over a period, the gastric system grows larger. Accordingly, the intensity of hunger and the quantity eaten go up.
Another fact – there is a strong link between our sleep and the food we eat. Those who are short of sleep tend to eat more. So, ensure that you take sufficient sleep. This would help you start eating the right quantity of food required.
Another point – stop eating as soon as you feel three-quarters full. Please do not think that one should eat to the fullest brim of the stomach. Also, avoid taking larger quantity just as the food tastes yummy. These aspects would ensure and prevent you from gaining unnecessary weight.
