Don't doubt it! Sleeping more will really make you lose weight
A study by Columbia University in the United States found that people who sleep only 5 hours a day are more than 50% more likely to be obese than people who sleep 7-9 hours a day. People who sleep less than 5 hours are even 70% more likely to be obese. From this result, we can clearly know
#Sleep really helps lose weight
Growth hormone can promote metabolism, improve immunity, break down fat, increase muscle mass, and prevent the formation of visceral fat. Therefore, it is known as the "most powerful fat-breaking hormone". Growth hormone is secreted in large quantities during sleep, and "leptin", which makes people feel full, is also secreted in large amounts when there is sufficient sleep. Therefore, the better the quality of sleep, the better the weight loss effect!
On the contrary, lack of sleep will secrete more ghrelin, which will make people have a strong appetite and eat more. This is why after staying up late, they often want to eat high-calorie foods to satisfy themselves, such as burgers, fried chicken, cola, snacks, chocolate and other carbohydrates and sweets.
In addition, lack of sleep may also cause an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system, which will lead to slow functioning of the digestive organs, followed by annoying constipation and edema. When the body cannot excrete waste from the body, it will become increasingly difficult to lose weight!
