Some ways to reduce your appetite!

Today I read a health article again. It explains that it is very bad people have overweight. I think today everybody knows about it. So this article gives some ways to help us, especially me, to reduce our appetite. It says we should have an enough sleep. In our body we have 2 hormones that one of them is Griling Hormone (this hormone increases our appetite in stomach), and another one is Leptin hormone (this hormone reduces our appetite). So when we have lack of sleep, Griling hormone goes up in our body and it causes of overweight and Leptin goes down, so we become hungry. That’s why every person should sleep 7 hours in a day. Another way to reduce our appetite is eat the food that had lots of proteins and fibers because they take a long time to digest in our body. Also, they absorb water, and our stomach won’t have enough space, so we feel full. Another way is when you eat something, you should sit somewhere that has enough light. Because when you eat food in a place that has enough light, you won’t burn calories a lot and you can see what you eat, but in the dark a place, when you pick something to eat, you jut put it in your mouth! In addition, when you want to eat food, use a small plate. Because when u use a small plate and put food on it, it seems your plate is full!

Thanks again. I had never heard the part about sleep. that's an important one for me. I almost never get 7 hours of sleep, and I am always hungry. Now we know why. I'll see if I get thinner when the semester is over and I can sleep more.
