Intense exercise can help a person develop a healthier diet –

Doing high-intensity exercise not only burns fat, but may also prevent a person from eating fatty foods, a new study suggests.

Researchers at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, found in a study of rats that those who exercised regularly were able to avoid cues to eat unhealthy foods.

The findings show that exercise can improve a person’s discipline and decision-making and prevent them from making poor eating decisions.

Researchers can’t pinpoint why this is so, but they hope to discover a new trick that will help dieters around the world.

Study author and neuroscience researcher Dr. “A really important part of dieting is having some brain power: the ability to say, ‘No, I might want that, but I’m going to abstain,'” Travis Brown said.

“Exercise can be beneficial not only for losing weight physically, but also mentally for controlling cravings for unhealthy foods.”

The researchers, who published their findings Thursday in the journal Obesity, used 28 rats for the study.

Each was introduced to a device that makes a sound, emits light, and gives them a very greasy treat when they press a button.

The rats were untreated for 30 days and were then divided into two separate groups, one undergoing rigorous training and the other not.

The mice then had a chance to press the button again, but now the food would not be dispensed.

Those who did not exercise were more likely to hit the button, suggesting a craving for high-fat foods.

The research team notes that this likely indicates that exercise on a group of mice had some sort of psychological effect that made them no longer crave fatty foods.

Although the trial has only been done on mice so far, the researchers hope this could be a first step towards further results in better management of obesity and other malnutrition-related conditions.

‘Exercise is beneficial in several ways: it helps heart disease, obesity and diabetes; It may also help prevent some of these incompatible foods,” Brown said.

“We’re always looking for that magic pill somehow, and exercise is just around the corner with all these benefits.”

America is suffering from a growing obesity and diabetes epidemic, and poor food choices and a sedentary lifestyle are likely to blame.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that more than 40% of Americans are obese and over 70% are overweight.

The agency also says that more than 10 percent of American adults have diabetes.

Both conditions are linked to many other cardiovascular conditions, such as heart disease.

Overweight and obese Americans are also at significant risk of hospitalization or death from COVID-19.
