More protein, longer lasting fullness
While proteins also affect other bodily functions, protein intake can influence weight management.
Recent research indicates that dietary protein plays a significant role in appetite regulation, influencing various hormonal responses that contribute to feelings of satiety and hunger suppression.
Protein consumption significantly influences the levels of two key appetite-regulating hormones: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1, the "satiety hormone" ) and ghrelin (the "hunger hormone").
In essence, appetite regulation is a dynamic interplay between hormonal signals, brain activity, and external influences. For more go to my next post.

When we eat plant-based foods, we consume low levels of these toxins, which mildly stresses cells in the body in much the same way that exercise or going without food for long periods does. The cells do not die—in fact, they get stronger because their response to the stress shores up their ability to adapt to still more stress. This process of bolstering cellular resilience is called hormesis—and a growing body of research indicates that it accounts for the health benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables.” Source: Chemicals that plants make to ward off pests stimulate nerve cells in ways that may protect the brain against diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Dr. Mark P. Mattson's research, continues to fascinate us with findings on the true value of vegetables, emphasizing their role in triggering cellular adaptive responses that promote resilience and longevity, b...
