Sensor-specific saturation what it is, how it works

Man needs food to live... a vital role is played here by the center of hunger and satiety located in the hillside... everything seems very simple... we're hungry, so we reach for food, we eat until we feel full... but it's not always the case.

1. It's sensory-specific

Hunger is a physiological need of the body, it is caused by a lack of available energy and nutrients. Appetite is the desire to eat food that does not result from feeling hungry. Satisfaction is a state of satiety and accompanied by a feeling of fullness in the stomach, it lasts until hunger reappears.

2. Sensory specificity of the test

Evidence of sensory-specific satiety was obtained by L. Lipps-Birch and M. Deysher in 1986 in a study of 21 children aged 2.55 years and 26 adults aged 2535 years. The study was intended to demonstrate the existence of two behavioral mechanisms related to self-regulation of food intake and sensorially specific satiety. All participants participated in two lunches after which they ate a significant meal. Sensory sensory satiety data were also collected directly before and after the level of appetite.

3. Sensor-specific saturation and age

B. J. Rolls, T. M. McDermott studied the effects of age on sensory-specific satiety. The study involved young people (1215 years), young adults (2235 years), older people (4560 years), and older people (6582 years).

4. Sensory-specific satiety and a varied diet

In one study, 21 subjects were observed to see how changing sensory properties (tastes, smells) of previously eaten food affects sensory-specific satiety (L. Brondel et al., 2009). The subjects ate any amount: 1) fries, then cakes, 2) ketchup and mayonnaise, then cream and cream biscuits, 3) frits, then ketchups, mayonnaises, cakes themselves, and cakes with additives.

5. Sensor-specific saturation and BMI

C.A. Miller and colleagues looked at how food satisfaction changes in people with normal body weight, excess weight, and obesity. The study involved 290 adults, of whom 161 were normal bodyweight, 78 were overweight, and 51 were obese.

6. Sensor-specific satiety and weight loss

On the one hand, sensory-specific satiety can be used to reduce body weight. Monotonous, little-different meals will be consumed in smaller quantities. On the other hand, sensor-specified satiety may cause hyperphagia (over-consumption). Finally, it's through the SSS that we stop eating a particular meal and reach for a completely different, different sensory meal. G. R. Davidson and others checked for increased appetite for food before and after meals.

7. Summary

Sensory-specific satiety allows us to consume a wide variety of products, and a diet is rich in the ingredients that are essential for the proper functioning of the body. On the one hand, it can lead to overeating and contribute to obesity. It can also have great effects for people who want to gain weight, and for professional athletes with particularly high energy requirements.
