If you're looking for a natural, sustainable way to support your wellness journey, tune in to discover why good sleep is essential for lasting health and weight management. What's Inside? While diet and exercise are often the focus, sleep plays a critical yet often overlooked role in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Sleep deprivation disrupts key hunger-regulating hormones which can drive overeating and cravings, especially for high-calorie, high-carb foods. Ghrelin levels increase, making you feel hungrier. Leptin levels decrease, making it harder to feel full and satisfied. Lack of sleep activates reward centers in the brain, causing intense cravings for sugary, fatty foods, which can derail healthy eating habits. Studies show that people who sleep less than 7 hours per night have a significantly higher risk of obesity and weight gain than those who get sufficient sleep. Notable Quotes: “How well you sleep might just be the missing key to managing your waistline." “Studies show that adults who sleep less than seven hours per night have a 41% higher risk of developing obesity." "Researchers have found that people who get enough quality sleep have better-regulated blood sugar levels and an easier time maintaining a healthy weight".
