Multiply Your Weight-Loss Efforts
You can reduce appetite and lower body weight and fat mass by taking a potent multi-vitamin. A report published in the British Journal of Nutrition describes the results of two recent studies which found that multi-vitamin users have a lower body weight, fat mass and BMI, compared to non-users. Researchers also found that female multi-vitamin users experience the added benefit of reduced hunger levels.
What does all of this mean? While more research is needed, there is a rudimentary answer to why the multi can reduce appetite. Consider that your appetite increases as a response to weight loss, which throws off your normal levels of hormones that regulate energy balance and contol food intake. Vitamins and minerals are involved in the synthesis of these hormones. It would make sense that if you’re nutrient-deficient, your body would create appetite signals telling you to “feed” it the nutrients it needs. When you take a multi-vitamin that need is taken care of which makes you less hungry.
The Anti-Aging Bottom Line: Even being a little overweight can take years off your life. If you’re trying to lose weight, take a good multi-vitamin daily as it may naturally help to prevent the food cravings that can derail your efforts.
