Also, your body burns calories while sleeping. So, if you aren't getting enough sleep, you will limit the ability of your body to burn calories at rest. Researchers have reported that women who sleep five hours or less per night generally, weigh more than women who sleep seven hours per night. According to the National Sleep Foundation, the average woman gets only six and a half hours of sleep per night. Chronic sleep deprivation can have a variety of effects on the metabolism and overall health. Inadequate sleep: • interferes with the body’s ability to metabolize carbohydrates;• causes your body to store more fat; • drives down leptin levels, which causes the body to crave carbohydrates; • can lead to insulin resistance and contribute to increased risk of diabetes; • can increase blood pressure; and, • can increase the risk of heart disease. So, if you are trying to loose weight, get to bed and drop the weight. Previous Articles |
