(3 hours ago)A custom that many people consider trivial, sleep later than usual can affect weight gain and increase the risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes has written The New York Post.
A new study has found that those sleeping about 90 minutes less every night, having only 5-6 hours of sleep, averaged about a pound [half a kilogram] over just six weeks. According to researchers, if this continues for a year, weight gain can reach about four pounds [4 kg].
If this situation continues for a year, the loss of less than an hour and a half sleep per night could lead to a considerable increase in weight”, said study author Faris Zurich, professor of nutrition at Columbia University.
Researchers also found that those who slept less spent more time sitting and were less physically active during the day.
“Ani that they stayed awake longer, participants spent more time still than when they slept long enough. This is important because a long - seated life - style increases the risk of chronic illness”, Zurichs have added.
Sleep deprivation also affects the way people are fed.
When someone is tired, there is a greater desire for sweet, fat, and many calories. Insufficient sleep can also increase blood pressure, inflammation, and insulin resistance, increasing risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Other studies have shown that those who sleep less than seven hours a night also have a higher risk of brain damage related to the degeneracy and Alzheimer's disease.
According to quality sleep experts, it is as important as healthy nutrition and physical activity to maintain weight and general health. Periscope.
