Chinese medicine believes that sleep is an important repair and regulation mechanism of the body. The human body can release growth hormone during sleep, promote metabolism, promote energy metabolism in the body, and accelerate physical recovery and metabolism. At the same time, good sleep can also keep the balance of the body, relieve the fatigue and tension of the body, and make people's physical and mental state more stable and healthy. All these can provide basic conditions for losing weight.
Specifically, the relationship between sleep quality and weight loss mainly has the following points:
Control appetite: lack of sleep will lead to hormone secretion disorder and increase appetite, especially for foods with high sugar and fat. Good sleep can control appetite, reduce unnecessary eating, reduce calorie intake and achieve the effect of losing weight.
Increase metabolism: lack of sleep will lead to lower metabolism, reduce calorie consumption and affect weight loss. Adequate sleep can improve the body's metabolic rate and help reduce fat storage.
Relieve stress: stress reactions such as insomnia and anxiety can lead to endocrine disorders, especially excessive adrenaline secretion, which inhibits fat decomposition. Adequate sleep can relieve stress reaction, promote body metabolism and make weight loss better.
To sum up, although sleep can not directly reduce weight, good sleep quality and sufficient sleep time can provide basic conditions for weight loss, promote body metabolism and maintain body balance, help reduce calorie intake and promote fat decomposition.
