Who Controls Appetite Easily?

A group of American neurophysiologists lead by Gene Wang from Brookhaven National Laboratory studied the brain activity of 23 healthy men and women after they stayed off-food for 17 hours. After the “diet” the scientists asked the participants either to think about the most delicious food, or to mentally suppress thoughts about food. The study used positron emission tomography to examine the brain activity.

Who do you think found it easier to complete this task? Interesting enough, men find it easier to control their appetite, than women do. Men were the only ones who could suppress their appetite using their will-power after going without food for a long time.

The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Scientists. Whereas will-power helped the participants lower the hunger only slightly, for both sexes, but only males, however, had significantly lower activity in the orbital-frontal cortex – the area of the brain associated with emotion regulation, balance, ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
