Why Sleep Is So Important to Losing Weight
In this episode I talk about why improving your sleep is crucial to losing weight and keeping in shape. I dive deep into how much sleep adults need and what happens to your body when you don't get enough sleep or sleep too much.
How much sleep you need changes throughout your lifetime and depends on your age and stage of development. Adults need between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per night. Under 7 or more than 9 hours is not good.
Sleep directly affects your mental and physical health and how well you feel during the day. SLEEP AFFECTS WEIGHT.
Research studies have shown restricted sleep and poor quality sleep may lead to weight gain, increase of fat, loss of lean muscle mass, metabolic disorders, an increased risk of obesity and other chronic health conditions.
Further studies have found that a lack of sleep triggers increased levels of ghrelin and decreased levels of leptin leading to increased hunger. This causes overeating and makes calorie consumption challenging.
Focusing on your health and not on your looks is key. Good night sleep is critical to your health. It is very important to be in shape and achieve a weight that makes you feel good and healthy.
Sleeping well can get you back into shape faster and helps you be the healthiest version of you.
