Get Organized Pittsburgh

Now that I am rushing I need to make sure I get good rest to stay trim! Studies show that one out of four men and women report sleeping less than six hours a night. There are several large studies that link lack of sleep to obesity. One interesting study that tracked more than 68,000 nurses for 16 years found that the odds of gaining 33 pounds were 32% higher for among those who slept no more than five hours a night compared to those that slept at least seven. Appetite just went way up. Gherlin (a hormone that make you hungry rises and leptin (a hormone that controls appetite) drops. Studies also show increased insulin resistance, therefore a higher rate of diabetes. This also may also have a evolutionary link to sleeping less in winter and storing fat during that time to protect our bodies.

So get your rest and help your body work the way it should. We are always looking for a way to effortlessly keep our weight under control. What could be easier?
