"Even if you try to lose weight, you can't lose weight like others. It's really hard. " In the process of helping people lose weight, we can find that some patients really work hard, but the results are not satisfactory. Some patients lose weight easily even if they don't work hard. Why did this unfair thing happen? The reason is sleep.

An American research institute investigated the relationship between sleep and obesity and found that the less sleep time, the higher the probability of obesity. On average, if we regard adequate sleep time as seven hours, the obesity rate of people who sleep only six hours is about 23%, that of people who sleep only five hours is 50%, and that of people who sleep only four hours will rise to 73%.

There are similar findings. Obese adults were taken as subjects to observe their body fat changes during complete sleep and during non-sleep. The longer they sleep, the less their body fat will be, but the difference is about 55%.

If the sleep time is irregular and insufficient, the secretion of growth hormone will be reduced. It is generally believed that growth hormone will not be secreted after the growth period, but this is not the case. Although the amount of secretion is not certain, even adults will continue to secrete growth hormone, usually during exercise or sleep.

Growth hormone can promote fat decomposition and increase muscle mass; On the contrary, if the secretion of growth hormone is insufficient, the metabolism will be reduced, and it is easy to accumulate waste, which may also lead to lower basal metabolism. This is the reason why lack of sleep leads to obesity. In the state of lack of sleep, perhaps the effect of daytime exercise is not great, because the body is too tired to increase metabolism, so no matter how hard you try, you may not be able to achieve relative success. Sleep can give our body a temporary rest and help to maintain our metabolism the next day. Organs that work hard during the day have to rest at night to maintain health and a certain metabolism, so it is necessary to keep enough sleep time so that organs can lose weight smoothly.

Sleep and weight loss are closely related, just like this. In order to lose weight, it is very important to adjust diet and keep exercising, but only by sleeping well and working hard can we get relative results and lose weight more easily. Please remember this.
