Have you ever felt the instant noodles or toast you eat by the pool is more delicious? Or have you ever felt more hungry when swimming?
During this time, always sticking in one’s memory that swimming makes the stomach hungry quickly. When we swim, usually in addition to drinking, we will also bring provisions in the form of food. This is different when we do other sports that are enough to drink it.
The existence of this thought is tried to be solved by researchers. Reporting from Independent, conducted research comparing the effects of swimming with cycling and resting on appetite and the amount of food consumed. The result, it turns out scientifically, the notion that swimming makes hunger faster is true.
The study was conducted on 32 adults under 40 years as participants. The participants completed three experiments in the form of swimming, cycling and resting in a random order and separated four days from one experiment to another.
Before the experiment, the participants were also given the same breakfast. Hunger from the participants was also measured before and after the experiment.

30 minutes after exercising or resting, participants are then asked to eat as much pasta as they want to fill. From this it is known that those who swim actually eat more than in other experiments.
Hunger for new swimmers is greater and they want to eat more. This response remained the same for both male and female participants involved in this finding.
According to the researchers, the reason that made this possible was because of the temperature difference. When swimming, temperatures are cooler so we want to eat more to produce enough body heat.
This might also occur due to changes in brain signals and neurotransmitters so that the appetite increases. This can affect our appetite and make us eat more food
