Could Lack of Sleep be a Cause of Weight Gain?
Top Replies
Absolutely! Research shows that when we don't get enough sleep, our bodies produce more ghrelin, a hormone that stimulates appetite, and less leptin, a hormone that suppresses appetite. This hormonal imbalance can lead to overeating and weight gain. #obesityresearch #chronicconditionmanagement
Additionally, lack of sleep can negatively impact our decision-making and self-control, making it harder to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine. It's a vicious cycle! #weightmanagement #lifestylechanges
Wow, that's really interesting! So, it's not just about willpower and diet, but also about hormonal balance and self-control. I guess getting enough sleep is just as important for weight management as healthy eating and exercise. Thanks for sharing your insights! #obesitytreatment #lifestylechanges
