Physical activity also makes me less hungry.
The problem is that physical activity is unnatural and not intuitive. Biology is about saving energy, not spending it to keep everything healthy.
Bad mental health leads me to do less physical activity. Bad mental health also makes physical activity more difficult and painful.
- singularity2001 1y ago> physical activity is unnatural Very wrong way to put it
- jokoon 1y agoI mean spending energy for nothing
- seec 1y agoThere is no physical output to acquire but it's not for nothing. In exchange you get a natural anti-depressant and a good load of positive hormones. On top of that you get fitness that can be used at any time for any situation and you get muscle mass (that has positive side effects) and hunger suppression. All in all, it's not bad for something you almost get for "free". But you can also choose to enjoy life, get fat (in moderation) and die a bit earlier. As far as I'm concerned that also a valid choice, depends on what you want from life...
- jokoon 1y agoread the original comment physical activity is unnatural, because species are not expected to exercise for their health, since they already exercise naturally
- v7engine 1y agoI thought physical activity will increase your hunger.
- orwin 1y agoNot always, not if your hunger is caused by hormonal issues. Also, drinking more decrease your hunger if caused by grahlin (that's my secret technique when I'm invited to a meal, I drink a lot of water).
- happytoexplain 1y agoWhen I exercise, I lose any feeling of "bored hunger", and even if I have a regularly scheduled meal soon after ("real hunger"), I feel satisfied after eating less of it than normal. I suppose exercise would cause me to naturally eat more long term to make up for lost energy, but perhaps only if my body can't make up that energy from sugar stores. As for why eating doesn't make me hungry short term - I suppose exercising doesn't empty your stomach, which is what triggers hunger? This is a ton of speculation.
- lucyjojo 1y agomy weekly exercise consists in walking/biking to the game bar 9km away, play games, eat snacks and joke around, then get back home. it's pretty fun. just gotta bring a change of clothes
