A recent study found that sleep time is closely related to obesity. This study investigated 1.8 million people. After excluding other factors leading to obesity (such as lack of exercise, improper eating habits, etc.). ), experts found that if the sleep time is less than 7 hours, the shorter the time, the greater the possibility of obesity.

People usually think that sleeping more, consuming less energy, is not easy to get fat. However, the latest research found the opposite result: compared with people who sleep for 7-9 hours a day, those who sleep for 6 hours a day have a 23% increase in obesity, those who sleep for 5 hours a day have a 50% increase in obesity, and those who sleep less than 4 hours a day have a 73% increase in obesity.

Experts believe that lack of sleep will lead to the failure of "satiety" in some parts of the brain, which will lead people who lack sleep to eat more food. In addition, adequate sleep will also disrupt the body rhythm and indirectly lead to obesity.

Weight loss experts have specially prescribed a new prescription for obese people: sleep more.
