How Sleep Affects Weight Loss: A Psychotherapist's Commentary
Nowadays, everyone can choose a weight loss program for themselves. But, in addition to physical activity and proper nutrition, you also need to remember about sleep. This is an important factor in losing weight.
This statement was made by psychotherapist Natalia Ukhanova, RIA Novosti reports.
As the specialist noted, during the day our body synthesizes the most important hormones that are responsible for various processes.
But we must take into account that their production is tied to circadian rhythms.
This is why it is necessary to maintain a balance between sleep and wakefulness.
Hormones that support immunity, help reduce weight, and trigger regeneration are usually produced between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. Therefore, it is time to rest.
Before going to bed, it is better to avoid watching TV and using gadgets. The bright light from this equipment will only interfere and destroy melatonin.
If a person sleeps poorly for several days, it is more difficult for him to control his hunger. As a result, problems with extra pounds appear.
