SLEEP MORE.....LOSE WEIGHT |
Is it really possible to stay slim by doing....practically nothing? Yes! Experts now believe that simply getting enough sleep can help prevnet weight gain.
"Emerging research suggests that not sleeping enough can increase appetitie and lead to obesity," says Meir Kryger, MD, a professor medicine at the University of Manitoba in Winniper, Canada, and the author of A Woman's Guide to Sleep Disorders.
A recent study from Stanford University in California found that the less sleep people get, the heavier they were. Why? Shorter sleep duration alters levels of the appetite-controlling hormones leptin and ghrelin, making you want to eat more. "Your body goes through a number of hormonal and metabolic changes during sleep, and when you don't get enough, you disrupt that process." says Dr. Kryger.
