A long-term study conducted by researchers at Lund Unversity, Sweden, showed that spinach contains extracts of green leaves or thylakoid membranes that can reduce hunger hedonic up to 95 percent and helps weight reduction up to 43 percent.
Hedonic hunger is another term for a strong desire to eat unhealthy foods such as sweets or fast food, which is a common cause of obesity and unhealthy eating habits.
The study results showed that thylakoids can strengthen the satiety hormone production in the body and suppress the hedonic hunger, which ultimately better impact on appetite control, adoption of healthy eating habits and increase weight loss.
