Lack of sleep…..can lead to obesity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



If you sleep less, you are more likely to be obese..!!!!!!! Well the first week of April is insomnia awareness week; this month is also a sleep awareness month. Lack of sleep was till now associated with overworked professionals but now youngsters, children are also facing this problem, and doctors say anyone who sleep less than 6-8 hours a day is likely to be 6 times more obese then the one who eats junk food regularly.
And the scientific reason behind this is imbalancing of two hormones. One is ghrelin, and another is leptin. Ghrelin is responsible for appetite and leptin is for satiety.
Hormonal imbalance happens when the sleep is not adequate, and whenever the level of hormone modulated, it increases the weight gain and appetite which results in obesity. factors like demanding work environment, pressure of studies, long travel time, influence of parent and partner life style, excessive use of computer and tv which add to it and make you more obese…….

So guys sleep well….stay away from obesity…live happily…..

NOTE: lack of sleep is not the single cause of obesity.....it is just one of them... commonly in children and youngsters)
