Sleep And...


Waistlines.

A new study of individuals under 40, which appears in the March issue of Sleep, shows a clear association between averaging 5 hours or less sleep each night and large increase in visceral fat, or fat around the organs. What happens when your body does not get its needed sleep: 1) You will crave high-carb foods and likely gravitate toward sugary, salty, fatty carbs 2) Your metabolism will tick down a notch 3) You will be tired enough to go for exercise.
