A 15-minute walk can cut snacking on chocolate by half,
according to research by the University of Exeter. The study showed that
chocolate lovers ate only half as much chocolate as they normally would after
this short spurt of physical activity.
Research
suggests that employees may find short breaks away from their desks can keep their
minds off snacking. Employees were asked
to take 15 minute walks away from their desks.
Upon returning, a bowl of chocolate was made available. The employees found that they could regulate
their eating by half!
Snacking on
high caloric foods like chocolate can be a mindless habit which results in
weight gain. Exercise is known to have substantial
benefits for energy and mood levels and possibly used to manage
addictions. Previous research as shown
that exercise can curb chocolate cravings but not consumption reduction.
So go ahead
and have chocolate ready to eat…that is after you exercise!
