Satiety

Satiety is the feeling of fullness and satisfaction after eating, which signals your body to stop eating. It involves complex signals between your digestive system, brain, and hormones that assess how much energy you've consumed and help regulate hunger. When you eat, certain hormones like leptin and ghrelin, along with stretch receptors in your stomach, send messages to your brain indicating fullness or hunger. This process helps manage your appetite, prevent overeating, and maintain energy balance. In essence, satiety is your body's natural way of telling you when you've eaten enough to meet your energy needs.
