Friday's Fitness Tip by , ACE, ACSM, Personal Trainer/Fitness Specialist
It's the last thing you want to hear on Friday, but here's another reason to keep those abs strong: You will be less hungry!
You heard me correctly. The tighter your abs, the less hungry you will be.
There's a little known hunger-causing hormone called Neuropeptide Y (NYP) that is produced by abdominal fat.
Until a recent study by Dr. Kaiping Yang and his colleagues at the Lawson Health Research Institute affiliated with The University of Western Ontario it was believed that NYP was only produced by the brain.
NYP sends signals to the individual that they are constantly hungry. So turning off the production of NYP by strengthening your abs will make you less hungry.
Keep moving,
Jamie
