To Fight Hunger, Try Jumping Up and Down


To Fight Hunger, Try Jumping Up and Down

Exercise that involves vertical movements like jumping rope may fight feelings of hunger better than other forms of exercise, a new study from Japan suggests.
Studies have shown that exercise suppresses appetite for a short period, and research has suggested that appetite-regulating hormones released by the gut are involved in this effect.

My opinion:  The research suggesting vertical exercise is superior to horizontal exercise in suppressing hunger seems thin in this article.  However, I think the overall point is well taken--Exercise will suppress hunger.  So many people say that they are trying to lose weight, but always seem to be hungry.  Exercise can help limit those cravings.
