In the last episode, we spoke about Estrogen. Here we introduce :
#6 Neuropeptide Y (NPY)
Neuropeptide Y is a hormone produced by cells in the brain and nervous system. It stimulates appetite, particularly for carbohydrates, and is highest during periods of fasting or food deprivation.
Levels of neuropeptide Y are elevated during times of stress, which can lead to overeating and abdominal fat gain.
Steps to obtain optimal functioning of NPY are as follows :
#1 Eat enough protein like tofu, egg whites, paneer.
#2 Don’t fast for too long
#3 Eat plenty of soluble fibre like oats, barley, brussels sprout, broccoli etc.
