Barley and oats can suppress your appetite and help you lose weight. • Russia today Posting in CHAT: RussiaSome foods contain a special type of fiber that can suppress appetite and act in the same way as the popular diabetes injections that many people use for weight loss, says neuroscientist and nutritionist Frank Duke. Duca said in the study, he and his colleagues found that beta-glucan, a fermented fiber, can suppress appetite and promote weight loss. He noted that this type of fiber is found in barley, oats and rye. Once in the body, these foods promote the production of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that signals to the brain that you are full and also slows down the movement of food from the stomach to the intestines. The researcher claims that diabetes medications such as Ozempic or Wegovy have a similar effect. Duque added that beta-glucan has worked well as an anti-obesity agent in mice. He says human trials have confirmed that this type of fiber improves insulin sensitivity, lowers blood pressure and promotes satiety. At the same time, Duk noted that other types of fermented fibers in plant foods also have beneficial properties, but their benefits for weight loss have not been found, Lenta.ru reports. Source link
