Orlando, FL— April 12, 2016 — Obesity is an epidemic that continues to affect many people today. The prevalence of obesity is believed to be associated with the development of certain medical conditions. There are several factors that contribute to the development of obesity, and one is sleep.
Sleep deprivation increases the risk of obesity. There are times when getting enough sleep just seems impossible. However, when it happens frequently in a week, it can lead to undesirable health consequences.
The National Sleep Foundation reveals that an adult needs around seven to nine hours of sleep on a daily basis. However, unfortunately, many people don’t get enough sleep. Lack of sleep is believed to trigger some changes in the genes and this increases the risk of certain conditions, including obesity.
According to researchers, over 700 genetic changes take place when there is too little sleep in a week. These changes are associated with conditions such as heart problems and obesity. Having unhealthy food choices is thought to contribute to hormonal changes, which is associated with poor sleep.
In a 2012 review of 18 studies involving appetite and sleep, it was found that six hours of sleep or less can trigger the increased production of ghrelin, which is a hunger hormone. It also limits the production of leptin, which takes care of helping people balance their food intake.
Individuals who have poor sleep are more likely to binge and have unhealthy eating habits. The good news is that people can resort to measures believed to be helpful in improving sleep. One is to change their food choices, and make sure that they consume foods believed to help improve sleep.
There are many natural remedies to improve sleep quality and quantity. Eating healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables is thought to be extremely helpful for improving sleep quality. One of the highly recommended foods is turmeric, which contains curcumin.
Turmeric is an ancient, medicinal spice used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. It is popularized by its phytochemical called curcumin. Curcumin contains therapeutic substances such as antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
In a study, scientists reveal that curcumin has successfully helped keep the 72-hour sleep-deprived mice from the undesirable symptoms of sleep deprivation.
Turmeric can be incorporated in one’s diet. It can be a great addition to food and beverages. There are also curcumin supplements available for individuals who want to obtain the phytochemical’s therapeutic properties (www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Complex-BioPerine-Bio-availability/dp/B00JA4TLTI/).
