Weight Management

Sleep loss tends to make people eat more by impacting the production of a hormone called cortisol, which regulates appetite. In addition, sleep deprivation increases fat storage in your body. Because people who don’t sleep enough are fatigued, they are often less active and burn fewer calories during the day. The amount of sleep a person needs varies, but you should typically try to get seven to nine hours per night

A pint of ice cream is often the perfect remedy at the end of a stress-filled day, and, in some ways, it makes sense. When stress levels rise, levels of the appetiteregulating hormone cortisol are elevated, causing a rise in insulin levels and a drop in blood sugar. That’s why fatty, sugary foods provide comfort. Although stress is a powerful trigger, stick to simple, healthy habits such as eating the right foods and staying active, to help curb cravings.
