Did you know that your lack of sleep could be responsible for your weight gain? And it is not just because of the fact that sleep prevents you from snacking ...
Leptin and ghrelin, the leading cause!
In reality, the proverb "He who sleeps dines" has never been truer since it was discovered that the tired people saw their leptin levels decrease. What is Leptin? To control our appetite altogether.
For its part, ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite, increases when sleep is reduced or poor quality.
Lifestyle dangerous
Thirty studies in seven countries showed that the rapid increase in obesity in recent years is partly due to the fact that people sleep less. We blame the workload heavier and eating too much television and the Internet.
Thus, people in the study who slept 8 hours or more were less affected by obesity that participants on average five hours sleep per night. However, the relationship obesity / sleep is not verified in the case of obesity called "morbid."
Relax
Many people attribute their stress excess weight to the fact that when they are tense, they are more likely to eat to reduce their stress. That may be true, but there is not much ...
Studies show that stress generate fat storage in the abdominal area. Finally, stress also stimulate food intake in the brain, which stressed the great push to eat foods especially rich in carbohydrates (bread, pasta, potatoes ...).
