Weight Loss Mini-Course Part-7: How Can Your Sleep Quality Affect Your Weight?

Many people who have challenges losing weight are also experiencing poor sleep quality because elevated cortisol levels increase fat storage in the body, especially abdominal fat. When your cortisol levels remain chronically high, your body thinks it is going through starvation and begins to store more fat around the abdomen. This also increases insulin levels, which is a fat-storage hormone. High cortisol increases blood sugar to help get you through a stressful situation regardless it is a lack of sleep or other stress, but high blood sugar increases your sugar cravings. Chronically elevated cortisol levels also contribute to adrenal fatigue, which slows down your metabolism, and affects your thyroid function and hormone balance. All these create a vicious cycle of weight gain. In this video, I focused on a few nutrients that play important roles in your sleep quality and how to improve your sleep quality with nutrition, so you can lose weight easily with sound sleep.
