Confused? I will explain.
When you don’t sleep, your insulin (a hormone produced in the pancreas that regulates the level of glucose in the blood) sensitivity rapidly decreases which can increase the chances of weight gain.
Also, when feeling sleepy at work, you are likely to grab a cup(s) of coffee or energy bars to help you stay active.
Later in the evening hours, you become tired and it could prevent you from engaging in any form of physical activities or exercises. Then at night, your exhausted body won’t be able to wait for dinner to properly digest before finding its way to bed and over time, you will gain weight.
Moreover, if you keep late nights, you are likely to reach out for snacks which can also lead to weight gain or other related health issues.
To watch your weight and live a healthy lifestyle, you need to get at least 7-8 hours of good sleep.
2. Do a cleaning party
It can be boring and tiring at times when you have to do a thorough house clean up alone.
But several studies have shown how losing weight while doing house chores could be equated to the number of calories you burn at the gym.
You could lose as much as 80-160 calories in one hour, while doing chores, especially those that involve a lot of energy like scouring surfaces, mopping, washing, etc.
To make it fun and less stressful, you can call in your roommate or spouse to join you and then play some upbeat songs. You can also dance or do some lunges while cleaning.
3. Play in a field
Rather than grab lunch or drinks with friends, you can play football, volleyball or swim for a while. Avoid cocktails with calories or beer.
4. Dance it out
Whenever you are in the mood for a night out experience, try hitting up a dance club? From Hip-hop to Latin clubs, you will find quite a number of them in town. Just ensure not to drink more than you can burn off- One cocktail will do.
5. Be pampered with a massage
Research by Ohio State University showed that women tend to stick to a healthy diet when they are more accepting of their bodies. You don’t have to look at an image of a sexy person or recite some body image chant to enhance your self-esteem. Getting a massage can do magic.
6. Hike to burn fat
Find some suitable locations, gather some of your friends, and hike. It helps burn a great number of calories and resurrects your back muscles and legs. Apart from its fitness benefits, taking panoramic views from the hill or mountain top is more fun and provides a memorable experience, compared to workouts in a gym.
