Doing sports reduce craving for harmful food

Scientists from the University of Leeds found that exercise increases the craving for healthy food, reducing the need for high-calorie snacks.

A study of 180 people showed that volunteers who regularly performed physical exercises were 15% less likely to use harmful products, while low physical activity led to subjects being more inclined to reward themselves with high-calorie meals.

"Getting the most out of exercise means that people do not want to receive rewards in the form of food," says Dr. Graham Finlayson. - We found that there is a clear link between the amount of physical activity and the desire to eat fatty foods. So, people who rarely went in for sports showed a desire to eat bad food, whereas people who regularly performed physical exercises considered harmful food less attractive ".
