Want to lose weight? Sleep on it
Quality sleep can help you lose weight. Here are six tips that will help you sleep better and as a result, lose weight!
1. Relax before going to bed.
Read, meditate or do some stretching. Listen to relaxing music or taking a bath. You may also sleep better if you take a non-caffeinated tea before retiring for the night.
2. Eating cherries.
Cherry is one of the few foods that contain melatonin, a substance that regulates sleep. Sour cherry juice is especially rich, not to mention that it contains known free radical fighting antioxidants. Try it and see if it is effective.
3. Exercise.
After a good workout, you do not ask better than going to bed to rest your body and recharge your batteries. In addition, exercise is one of the best remedies against stress. By cons, avoid doing just before bedtime because you may feel energized rather than relaxed.
4. Take a light snack.
If you're feeling peckish before going to bed, a light snack combining carbohydrates and proteins stimulate the production of serotonin, a hormone known calming. A bowl of cereal or a slice of toast with a glass of milk would do the trick.
5. Avoid alcohol just before going to sleep.
Alcohol may help you fall asleep but your sleep will be neither deep nor refreshing.
6. Limit your intake of caffeine.
As the effects of caffeine in the body lasts up to eight hours, take your last cup by early afternoon.
