Eating and sleeping are two of the most important and essential functions of any living being. One without the other is incomplete.
Eating and sleeping are two of the most important and essential functions of any living being. One without the other is incomplete. When we eat well but don't get sleep properly, our health doesn't work properly. It makes our bodies disorderly if we get enough sleep but do not eat correctly. Food and sleep have always existed together and now sleep, appetite and a healthy weight have all been found to be related.
Daily Routine
Most people are having the same story. Staying up late at night and losing coffee cups, with little time for a decent meal and no room for exercise. In this modern lifestyle, many people drag themselves throughout the day, skipping healthy meals and physical activity and gaining energy in various forms of sugar and caffeine. Well, it's Bad News, such habits are not successful in fighting off sleep or tiredness, and can also contribute to weight gain and make it harder to lose those extra pounds.
A substantial study is needed to show that short or disturbed sleep increases your appetite for high-calorie food. That is because of the hormone balance changes and appetite changes. Two hormones in it control hunger, appetite, and satiety. Ghrelin seems to be the hormone that triggers hunger, making you hungry and craving food, while leptin is the hormone that makes you feel complete and bloated, and suppresses your hunger. Those two hormones are in balance in people with normal sleep, working to regulate normal feelings if there are hunger and appetite. But poor sleep changes the balance between the ghrelin and leptin, leading to a change in appetite.
How Exactly does Sleep Help You?
Sleep regulates the production of glucose, as well. When a person sleeps less than four hours a night, levels of the ghrelin go up and levels of leptin go down. Which contributes to an increase in food and appetite intake. When someone is excessively deprived of sleep and eats high-calorie food, the calories are likely to be stored around the stomach, producing belly fat which is known to increase the risk of diabetes type II. Known as visceral deposition of fat, this occurs when insulin release in response to glucose is blocked by a lack of sleep.
It has been shown that being deprived of sleep for a week at a stretch impedes glucose tolerance, but trying to make up on lost sleep has made the glucose reaction return to normal. Although there is not enough evidence to conclude that lack of sleep causes diabetes, research has found a clear link between the two, as having proper sleep controls energy levels and prevents the cravings for sugar or carbohydrates, thereby keeping blood glucose level under control.
Sleep Deprivation Effects Health
If you have trouble sleeping once in a while and eat plenty of chocolate and French fries for energy the very next day, it is not too damaging. But there's evidence to indicate that if you regularly skimp on sleep and carbs and sugar binge, you will gain weight. That is one of the key reasons why people who are obese sleepless. There has been an alarming increase in obesity over the past 10 years, and this has a link with the marked decrease in average sleep time over the last 50 years for the average person. Fifty years ago, Netflix did not exist to stay up for. There are too many obstacles in the modern world to keep forcing sleep to the back seat.
How can you Avoid this Health Damage?
Just watching what you eat is not going to make it any better. Even if you turn to a healthier diet, the lack of sleep will make it difficult for you to get into shape. This is why a lot of people are having trouble losing weight despite a healthy diet and workout regime. Sleep deprivation can counteract all other weight-loss efforts. Along with physical exercise, diet, and rehabilitation, to be able to lose weight, you must pay attention to the correct amount of sleep.
Every evening you have to get proper restful sleep to get the right balance. If you wake up many times during the night it doesn't count as restful sleep. Having a healthy diet high in fiber and protein and low in carbs also is important. As for exercise, experts suggest early in the day, ideally in the morning. Exercising late in the evening or before bed results in a surge in adrenaline and harms proper sleep.
So if you haven't got into shape despite every effort, it's time to catch up on asleep.
