Increased appetite on cold autumn days how to cope with it
Table of Contents
1. Put on low-processed foods and properly balanced meals
A diet based on fresh vegetables and fruit and whole grain cereals (sweet, fast food, salted snacks) and containing valuable sources of protein and fat will significantly reduce the appetite for additional meals. Usually, appetites increase when we choose high-processed foods with low levels of dietary fiber and protein, and high levels of sugar, salt and fats (sweets, fast foods, salty snacks). Such products make it easier for us to consume fat, and therefore we are more willing to eat fat, full-fat vegetables.2. Don't buy it in stock
In the autumn, we spend a lot more time at home quietly, often on the couch in front of the TV or with a book. It's very easy to eat. The candy and snacks that we have at home taste even more. So it's better not to buy more candy, and best to avoid going to the candy department stores.3. Eat carefully
In our daily routine, we tend to grab a quick meal and eat it just to satisfy our hunger. But it's best to avoid eating in a hurry, running or standing position. Meals are better to consume consciously. All attention should be focused on giving. Each bite should be chewed slowly, focusing on how the food tastes, looks, smells.4. Remember the supplements
Autumn is a time when vitamin D3 supplementation is particularly important to remember. Although it is recommended and safe throughout the year, its role is particularly highlighted in the period from October to April. Given the common deficiencies in the general population, it is advisable to specify the level of Vitamin D3 (25OH) D) to match the appropriate dose of the supplement. Prophylactic supplementation should be chosen depending on age, body weight, diet, seasons and lifestyle.5. Take care of your physical activity
When the weather isn't right, and the days are getting shorter, the desire for physical activity can be less. But keep in mind that any form of movement is better than none! According to WHO recommendations, adults (1864 years old) should engage in moderate-intensity physical activity for 150300 minutes a week, or high- intensity activity for 75150 minutes. It's worth going for a short walk or any kind of movement that we like. But it's important to find a kind of activity that makes you happy and brings you a fulfilling relationship.6. Take care of your sleep hygiene
Therefore, studies have shown that insufficient sleep has been associated with obesity, obese, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, as well as mortality from any cause (J. S. Loredo et al. 2019). Abnormal sleep can affect many metabolic changes and hormone activity, thereby increasing appetite.7. Summary
Unfortunately, there is no single effective advice on how to control your appetite on long, autumn days. It is important to remember that your daily well-being is affected by many factors, including diet, sleep, or physical activity.
