Step 6: Sleep Will Help Melt Fat
Sleep is important for a number of reasons. As most of you know, getting an adequate amount of sleep determines our moods the following day.
Lack of sleep leads to grouchiness, fatigue, and irritability just to name a few. It's very probable that without enough sleep your workday is compromised by the constant yawning and inability to pay attention.
However, sleep isn't only important for your state of mind, it's imperative to your fitness results!
It's when you're sleeping that your body gives off the highest levels of Human Growth Hormones, which help build muscle.
It's also the only time all your muscles get to rest. Your muscles need rest because you're constantly moving and stretching them, especially while working out hard to lose weight.
Press the Snooze Button Once in a While
Lack of sleep can also result in weight gain, even though you may be working out regularly and eating healthy.
Not only does your metabolism slow down if you aren't getting enough Z's, but your body produces a chemical called Cortisol (a mixture of increased blood sugar and insulin levels). When your body senses the Cortisol, it confuses it with hunger.
Cortisol has a way of storing body fat in the belly area. If you produce more Cortisol, there's a chance you're storing more belly fat as well.
So here we are: Sleepy and irritable with a slower metabolism and hungry. Wow, that sounds like a terrible combination!
Sleeping is also good for your skin, hair and nails. Grandma always says to get your beauty sleep so the wrinkles stay away and she's right!
Stress is a Mess - Calm your Mind to Sleep Better
I know it's hard in this day and age; the economy is bad and people are working more and sleeping less. Our stress levels often leave us up at night. However, it's critical to get a good amount of sleep.
The minimum hours of sleep you should be getting is six. Everyone should ideally be getting six to eight hours every night. I'm sure it's hard for some of you to get that much sleep, but definitely make it priority most nights out of the week.
Try exercising at least three hours before bed time. Working out too late in the day may contribute to staying up later. Taking a warm shower an hour before I want to hit the sack often helps me relax. Along with a great read and I'm tucked in bed and ready for my beauty sleep.
You knew that sleep causes drowsiness and fatigue, but belly fat? I was shocked too. My success is a result from plenty of sleep so I know how important it is.
Think you got what it takes to succeed? I know you do!
But you've GOT to have a certain mindset.
I'll teach you tomorrow.
