New Easy Diet: Sleep Diet! - by Laura Ciocan 2008-11-22 Researchers have linked sleep problems with
weight-loss problems. It was ascertained that the less people sleep, the
more they run the risk of becoming obese. So, the hottest recommended easy
diet is sleep diet these days. Normally, one would say that this theory is
not logical as, while asleep, you burn fewer calories.
But what determines good effects of sleep on
the body weight is the regulation of bodily chemicals during sleep. Thus,
scientists have discovered that sleep deprivation lowers the leptin level
and raises the grehlin one. Leptin is a blood protein that suppresses
appetite operating in the brain and affecting the way the brain perceives
the satiety feeling.
Grehlin is a substance that makes people want
to eat and it rises when the body is deprived of sleep. The study was
performed by researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public
Health and the Obesity Research Center on the basis of the data taken from
the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I (from the 1980s). It
was presented at the North American Association for the Study of Obesity (NAASO)'s
Annual Scientific Meeting held November 14-18.
The study analyzes the habits of persons
between ages of 32 and 59. According to this study, four hours of sleep
result in an increased risk of obesity with 73 percent towards those who
sleep between seven to nine hours. People who sleep five hours are more
likely to become obese with 50 percent, and those who get six hours of sleep
each night present a 23 percent greater risk.
Others see this problem from a different
angle: there are opinions sustaining that good sleeping habits can be
beneficent for weight-loss. But this theory is based not on scientific
studies, but on a logical chain of common-sense deductions, that is, going
to sleep to a "decent" hour and keeping a fix sleeping schedule
will allow you to make the most profit out of your resting hours and at the
same time to wake up a little earlier in the morning so as to maintain a
morning exercising routine, essential for losing weight.
May all of this not count, there is still a
grain of truth to it - a funny twist: it is that simple! the more you sleep
the less you eat, you cannot eat while sleeping, can you?
