BEING FAT FOR LACK OF SLEEPING

Lack of sleep not only disturb your activity on the next day but also make you put on weight and looks older than actual age. "We have found that those who slept less than seven hours a night eventually become obese," says consultant endocrinologist from Birmingham Heartlands Hospital, Dr Shahrad Taheri, as quoted dailymail.com site.




People who sleep less than four hours a night were 73 percent greater risk of experiencing excessive weight. Moderate sleep disorders can trigger compulsive eating up to 900 extra calories a day. This excessive intake can trigger weight gain as much as two pounds a week. These findings indicate that although participants do not have a weight problem before, their weight will increase along with the reduction of hours of sleep.

"Lack of sleep stimulates the appetite-regulating hormones," explained Taheri. "Lack of sleep, he continued, trigger additional levels of ghrelin (hormones that increase appetite) and lower levels of leptin (the hormone that gives a signal that the body is already full).

In addition to disturbing events, lack of sleep is also bad for health. Recurrent sleep deprivation effects, may not be perceived, especially by their 20s who are still full of energy. However, lack of sleep this will affect the appearance with age.

Actor Brad Pitt recently admitted that having six kids make it less sleep. And his performance proved that he was not joking. On the other hand, J-Lo pretty singer claimed he slept eight hours per night. This is the secret to appear 10 years younger than he really is.

Research recently found that sleep disorders have the same hormones influence the aging process. In addition, sleep disturbances and even increase the likelihood of diseases related to aging.

"We suspect that lack of sleep not only trigger the disease, but also exacerbate disorders like diabetes, hypertension, obesity and memory decline," explained researcher Eve Van Cauter.

Even more worrying again, women who slept less than five hours last night 45 percent greater risk of experiencing heart disease. In addition, sleep disturbances also interfere with blood pressure (which usually decreases at night) and make you more vulnerable to colds and flu.

A study from the European Sleep Research Society, found that people who experience sleep disorders tend to have a less attractive appearance to the skin that loosens. During sleep, bright researchers, will be the formation of new skin cells. Therefore, sufficient sleep will make you feel and look ten years younger than actual age.

"Sleep allows the brain to improve," said the director of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, Jim Horne.

During sleep, the light of Horne, the cortex (the brain and handles most functions such as thinking and activity) will be in recovery mode. And without a break, you will be irritable, moody, forgetful and unfocused when I woke up. (Kalbe.co.id)
