Max Blood Sugar After Meal

Tribute to exercise


Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia, have recently measured the body fat of a group of rats, and after a little over two years without exercise, rats have increased by about 25% of their body fat. "Not knowing that it is possible to get food at any time, the body stores, as fat, all that do not burn the body to operate, "says Frank Booth, PHDM, professor of biomedical studies and co-author of the study.
.
Further studies are needed to measure and quantify this observation in humans. However, the message is clear: what you do not burn through exercise, the body will store as fat.

You sleep, you lose the appeal


A recent study by Columbia University the City of New York, shows that people who sleep less tend to weigh more. In this study, men and women who slept only six hours of sleep a night were 23% more likely to be overweight than those who sleep on average 7-9 hours per night.
.
"The amount of the hormone ghrelin increases in people not sleeping enough," says researcher James Gangwisch, PhD, "which causes an increase in appetite and food intake."

You have trouble falling asleep? A study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, shows that melatonin supplements may help you fall asleep faster.
