GET SOME SLEEP

GET SOME SLEEP

Research shows not getting enough sleep leads to poor food choices by altering gherlin and leptin levels, two hormones that control our appetite. High gherlin levels and low leptin levels are known to stimulate appetite, increase our desire for high calorie foods and ramp up fat storage. Worst yet, this effect can last up to 24 hours. The solution: Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night. —Diane Welland
