Hormones reduce hunger

When a meal passes through your bowels, substances are released to make you feel full.

Hunger is the basic need that ensures our survival. If the cells of the body start to lack energy, your stomach will rumble, reminding you to eat some more. The sensation is controlled by hormones liberated from the stomach, the bowels, and the pancreas. The hormones signal to the hypothalamus brain region, which reduces or increases your sensation of hunger. According to scientists, mutations of fullness hormones are the reason why some people find it difficult to regulate their intakes and become overweight.

When you bite into a carrot, a chain reaction of hormones reduces your hunger.
