If you are looking for natural ways to reduce hunger pangs, the hormone PYY is your best friend! This week’s Health Hacks addresses PYY (peptide YY) which is a hormone produced in the small intestine in response to eating. It plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and food intake. When PYY levels rise, they send signals to the brain, making you feel full and reducing your desire to eat.
How to Naturally Increase PYY Levels
- Prioritize Protein
Incorporate protein-rich foods into your meals and snacks. Aim for 15-30 grams of protein per meal to boost PYY levels and promote satiety.
- Eat a Well-Rounded Diet
A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can support overall health and optimize PYY production.
- Stay Active
Regular exercise can help regulate PYY levels and improve overall health. Find activities you enjoy and make them a part of your routine.
Benefits of Elevated PYY Levels
