Get A Good Night’s Sleep
A lack of sleep causes fluctuations in hormones (leptin and ghrelin) that regulate your appetite. To be specific, lack of sleep causes a spike in your ghrelin levels and a dip in your leptin levels. As a result, your hunger and appetite might climb, making you eat more calories. More calories mean weight gain and visceral fat accumulation.
Give Up Smoking
Smoking can cause a spike in your blood glucose levels. Because the body cannot utilize all the glucose available, it will store the remaining amounts in your muscles or fat tissue. Glucose stored in your liver or muscles is called glycogen, while excess glucose stored in the fat tissue is called lipid.
Moderate Your Consumption of Sugary Beverages
One undisputed fact is that sugary beverages contain large amounts of ultra-processed carbohydrates. Because they are your body takes a short time to digest and absorb refined carbs, they might increase your glucose levels. Excess glucose will end up in your muscles or fat tissue, causing visceral fat accumulation.
Sleep specialist
Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
