Insufficient sleep can lead to weight gain


Do you ever wonder why you're barely eating or eating so healthy, but still gaining weight? It could be because you're not getting enough sleep. If you're tired, the body naturally wants to harness energy, which means that it will store as much energy as it can in your adipose tissue...the fat cells. So, if you want to lose weight and/or feel energetic:

Sleep at least 7 hours each night
Reduce Stress
Eat at least 90% of your diet as whole foods
Laugh
Drink approximately 1/2 your body weight in ounces of pure water
Exercise at least 1/2 hour per day

Do you have any other relaxation tips?
