Sleep and Weight Gain

Lack of sleep or poor sleep quality may lead to weight gain and increase the risk of health problems. Hi, I am Mina Qandar, a healthy lifestyle coach and founder of the Wellness All Seasons Podcast, welcome and thank you so much for listening.  If you don’t sleep enough or you have poor sleep quality, your metabolism is impacted.  Studies mentioned that lack of sleep affects the regulation of two hormones: Leptin and ghrelin. Leptin decreases the appetite and ghrelin increases it. Staying awake influences the habit of eating. People who don’t sleep, tend to eat more or consume unhealthy snacks, which facilitates gaining weight. Lack of sleep or poor sleep quality hurts mood and energy. People who don’t sleep well, feel tired and irritated. If you don’t sleep enough or your sleep is not good, you need to check the causes. Is it due to your nutrition, your environment, or other problems such as your relationships, work, or finances? In the next episode, I will give you some helpful tips to sleep naturally and easily.
