Prioritizing rest time helps you have a productive day
Lack of sleep affects the production of hormones that regulate metabolism, such as insulin and cortisol. Keep in mind that hormonal imbalance makes it difficult to control your appetite and gain weight in the long term. In this way, the nutritionist Amanda Figueiredo will provide suggestions for quality sleep.
Tips for quality sleep
Sleep hygiene
Create a healthy sleep environment, including the importance of maintaining a regular sleep schedule, avoiding screens before bed, and creating a relaxing environment.
Exercise and nutrition
Regular exercise and choosing sleep-promoting foods, such as calming teas and magnesium-rich foods such as seeds, nuts and leafy greens can help.
Food choices that damage sleep
By foods rich in calories we generally mean foods with a high sugar and fat content, i.e. sweets, fried foods and fast foods, which tend to be tasty and attractive in times of tiredness.
“When we’re stressed, many people seek comfort in indulgent foods like sweets and fried foods, which provide a temporary feeling of pleasure,” Amanda added.
