Food is an important part of our lives; we all need it to survive. However, the consumption of too much food can be problematic. If a person consumes too much food, especially too much of the wrong types of food, they could gain weight and may become unhealthy. Also, consuming too little food or insufficient nutrients can harm the body. The body needs good food in the right amounts, preferably at the right time.

Good Nutrition

Good nutrition can do the body a world of good. Some foods are good for the body and are also particularly filling too. Natural foods have not been altered and come with little or no processing. When foods can satisfy your hunger naturally, this is a win-win situation because you are getting the nutrition you need and doing so in healthy proportions. The following are seven foods that naturally satisfy your hunger.

1. Vegetables and Fruits

Often, people do not feel that vegetables and fruits can satisfy hunger [1]. However, vegetables are good for you in terms of low calories and high micro-nutrients [2]. Vegetables can be filling, and sometimes, a change in diet requires time for the body to become accustomed to the new foods you are consuming.

You must beware of any additions or accompaniments to the vegetables and fruits, such as salad dressing and salty or oily side dishes. Fruits can contain sugar but can still be a good option when choosing between healthy foods to eat. Fruit juices 100% made from real fruit are also good for the body.

2. Whole Grain Foods

Whole grains can provide a rich, natural food option. For many processed food such as rice, bread, muffins, pasta, crackers, and cereal, there are possibly healthier whole grain food options that you can consume. These whole grain options are typically more natural, with little or no processing, and can create a feeling of satiety.

These carbohydrates also provide the body the energy it needs to carry out the day’s activities and satisfy hunger due to their dense composition [3][4]. Whole grains make these foods rich in fiber, which can be great for the digestive system. In addition, because whole grains have undergone minimal processing, it takes adequate time for whole grain foods to pass through the digestive system. This enables you to feel full naturally. As carbohydrates, whole grains can be a great accompaniment to high-protein meals. Sometimes, such carbohydrates are needed to aid in the digestion of these proteins.

3. Nuts and Nut Butters

4. High Protein Foods

Besides nuts, eating other naturally high protein foods can be a great way to start the day. Protein can act as fuel for the body, enabling the cells in the body to recover and recharge. Food like eggs and meat is rich in protein. Although you do not want to overdo your consumption of meat, especially red meat, there can be benefits in consuming lean protein in moderate amounts.

Protein consumption, especially in the morning, can help you control food cravings and your appetite for the rest of the day. A full feeling may help keep your moods in check while filling your body with the fuel needed to continue the day.
