Your belly fat could be making you hungrier


After reading this article, it really makes me think about obese people and how they eat a lot. Nowadays we see obesity everywhere, and its a stereotype that all obese people eat loads of food. But after reflecting on the article, maybe you can consider that they can't help themselves, because the article states that the brain naturally produces it, and then studies show the abdominal fat also produces it leading to even more hunger. The article also shows that they can use this as a way to save obese people, because they say that the hormone that makes people hungry goes into the circulatory system and by that, they can take blood samples looking for the hormone and then send the person to therapy because they get very obese. So, in total I learned about obese people and why they made eat a lot.
