Sleep

Did you know you're at risk for weight gain if you're sleeping less than 7-8 hours a night? Sleep loss can increase hunger for more calorie dense, high carbohydrate foods. Ghrelin, Cortisol and Leptin are hormones that get disrupted from lack of sleep, and cause an increase appetite & promote fat storage. Sleep is very important to your overall health & wellness. Make it a priority to get to bed early!
