Sweet Dreams

When you’re finished working out for the day, don’t forget to get good night’s sleep.
Studies have shown that sleep deprivation can cause weight gain and increase the risk of diabetes.

A report by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science concluded that suppression of deep sleep hurts the ability to regulate sugar levels. With your body not able to metabolise food or regulate appetite as efficiently, the next step is weight gain.

So don’t feel guilty if you hit the bed a little early tonight or press the snooze button tomorrow. Not only will you be better rested and more alert, but you’ll also be doing wonders for your metabolism!
