Sleep…we all need it…but do we get enough

- 2. Tips : 7 and 9 hours of good sleep per night. We all live busy lives, early starts and late nights, but do you know what sort of effect this can have on your body? Today, I’m going to talk a little bit more about SLEEP! Getting an early night is as important to our health as exercising and eating well. We all know we need it, but most of us don’t get enough. The requirements vary based on the individual, but as a rule of thumb the average person should be getting between 7 and 9 hours of good sleep per night. .

If you’re exercising, your cardiovascular system is being put under a lot of strain, sleep will help to reduce the levels of stress and inflammation in your body. The two also lower your blood pressure and elevated levels of stress hormones which are an effect of today’s fast paced lifestyle. :- Sleep and exercise

We all know that this means an escalation in cravings for carbs and sugars and never for a small chicken salad. Of course sleeping isn’t going to make you slim, but by balancing your hormones, you will give your metabolism the best chance it has to burn those unwanted calories. : - Sleep and weight loss
