Recent studies have found that over 60% of the adult American population is overweight or obese. Many factors have been blamed and even more are the actual cause of each case of obesity, but several of them are entirely unnecessary. One of those causes is sleep deprivation. It has been directly linked to an increase in the risk and persistence of obesity in adults and children. Here's why.
Adults need a certain amount of sleep to function properly and when we don't get it our bodies and our minds slow down significantly. When we get enough sleep we start our day with an appropriate amount of energy and we maintain our ability to think clearly. Sleep deprivation starts a snowball effect that leads to behavior patterns and habits that cause obesity.
There are many different types of vegetarianism including, Lacto vegetarian, Fruitarian vegetarian, Lacto-ovo-vegetarian, Living food diet vegetarian, Ovo-vegetarian, Pescovegetarian, and Semi-vegetarian. Deciding what kind of vegetarian you want to be can be difficult, but here are a few of the options you have available to you.
Researchers have also found that those who live more sedentary lifestyles are more inclined to crave and choose to eat high calorie, fattening foods. If you are feeling tired and lazy, you don't want to get up and make food. You would rather order in pizza or grab a burger from a drive thru.
As you become more sedentary, your muscle mass decreases, lowering your metabolic rate and increasing the rate at which you put on the pounds.
If you find yourself locked in the self-perpetuating cycle of sleep deprivation, low energy, poor diet, and general laziness, an over-night or 'cold turkey' approach may seem too overwhelming for you. You didn't just gain all this weight in a week, so it is unrealistic to expect that you will be able to lose it in a week or a month.
Start by taking a look at your sleep schedule. Set a goal each day or week for how much sleep you want or need to get and then, when possible, adjust your schedule to accommodate for that amount of sleep. Begin to make healthier choices for your meals and take the time to prepare your own food. Make a commitment to participating in activities that get you up and moving at least once a week, or, better yet, once a day.
Slowly, you will find that these changes and choices will become easier. You will start to see that you crave the healthy foods, and you actually want to get the sleep you need. Your body will begin to respond and you will have more energy and will be better able to handle the things that life throws at you on a daily basis.
AS you consider changing your diet, you should also consider the advantages and disadvantages of Mexico gastric sleeve, Mexico bariatric Surgery, and other weight loss surgeries.
