It is very likely that approximately five minutes after someone somewhere decided that being heavy was not a sign of wealth but of indolence, gluttony and lack of self-control, several people came up with things to sell to other people promising easy weight loss. “Lose weight while you sleep” has been a clarion call repeated over and over in these products. If it were that easy, the parts of the world that aren’t filled with starving people wouldn’t be facing obesity epidemics.
Sleep Is Good -
However, there is some truth to the idea. Not that taking a pill – probably a sugar pill, and who needs that while trying to shed pounds? – and crawling under the covers can facilitate your diet, but that sleep is crucial to weight loss.
Far back in the history of humanity, our bodies developed certain reactions to stress. Stress often involved danger and danger could easily cut off the food supply. Thus, when things get tough, our bodies start storing calories rather than releasing them. Ironically, in the days before drive-thrus, this was designed to keep us alive for as long as possible, whereas now, it – and the drive-thrus – are having the opposite effect.
Exercise In Aid Of Sleep -
Lack of sleep causes the body to think that all may not be right with the world and to start prepping for famine. This leads to weight gain or at the very least impedes weight loss. In another example of irony, being too heavy can also reduce the effectiveness of the rest we’re getting. We may think we’re getting a full night’s sleep, but due to breathing problems or too much heat or discomfort, we aren’t getting the rest we need. This feeds into a vicious cycle that can be very difficult to get out of.
While a healthy diet has to be part of any weight loss regimen that stands a chance of working, activity is crucial as well. Not only does any increase in the amount we move increase the number of calories we burn in a given day, but it helps us to sleep better, and therefore aids in breaking the cycle. Some people will advise not exercising for several hours before bed, while others say it’s just the thing – in the end, individuals have to determine for themselves what works best.
Get Good Advice -
But while only experimentation will determine whether a brisk walk before bed helps us sleep or keeps us up, we do not have to do this all alone. In fact, it is very good to seek professional advice before embarking on such a change.
Traditional medical practitioners like chiropractors can offer unique perspectives on this type of change. Not only do they know how the body is supposed to work and be positioned – thereby putting them in a great position to offer advice on the right mild exercise for the beginner – but they are often affiliated with those who can offer dietary advice, which will help with the weight loss, which well help with the sleep, which in turn, will actually speed the way the pounds come off.
