Hello everyone,
Do you know the relationship between food digestion times and satiety? While we feel full for a long time after some meals, sometimes we feel hungry immediately. The difference at this point is due to the different properties and digestion times of foods. So why is it important?
If you know the digestion times of foods really well, you can benefit from your sports, business life and social life. You can get better efficiency from your activities and sleep. For example, you are going to walk for an hour and you are hungry. The food you choose should be a food that can be digested within an hour. When you consume fast-digesting foods in your meals, especially in your main meals, you will get hungry faster. If you consume a lot of fast-digesting foods, you may end up eating more food than you normally should. These foods provide energy to the body quickly, raise blood sugar levels, and you consume this energy in a short time and start to feel sluggish and hungry again because your digestive system remains empty. Additionally, since there is too much glucose in your body, it turns into fat. You are inviting a weight problem. However, foods that are digested slowly and raise blood sugar slowly do not provide instant energy to the body. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a good balance. It cannot be said that you should consume completely slowly digested foods. Because if this were the case, our digestive system would have to work constantly and this would be undesirable. It is not very desirable to have fast and slow digesting foods in the same meal. Because when you consume a fast digesting food after a slowly digesting food You are filling your stomach too much without realizing it. If you are going to consume foods with different digestion times, the best meal for this is definitely lunch. Because lunch is the meal when our digestive system is most active. Following this path while controlling your weight or losing weight can help you reach your goal more easily. .Remember that; The important thing is to consume which food, when and how much.
