Sleeping helps to get rid of fat

Many of us get rid of the fat is not an easy thing never, we show you a small study shows that sleep may help to do so.

The researchers placed the University of Chicago in 10 people suffering from moderately overweight (mean body mass index , 27.4 ) on the system and the meals are very strict (about 1450 calories a day ) . During the two weeks , has been allowed for 6 of them sleep at night for ½ 8 hours , while the other four bedrooms was limited to five and a half hours only . After several months , and for a period of two weeks separate study, reducing the number of hours of sleep to ½ 5 hours only for those who were sleeping ½ 8 hours , while those who were allowed to sleep 5 hours and a half in the past that a full night sleep this time .

At the end of each period of the study periods , it turned out that the size of the weight loss (about seven Lbs ) is the same, regardless of the amount of sleep . But when they were allowing people access to the entire sleep throughout the night , was more than half of the weight lost from fat , while in the short sleep , formed a quarter of the amount of fat that have been lost , only . As noted , too, the loss of more muscle and increase the feeling of hunger when it was reducing the number of hours of sleep .

Ghrelin (pronounced Grill - yen), which is secreted by the stomach, stimulates appetite and promotes fat storage and production of sugar in the blood by the liver. The increased levels of the hormone ghrelin at who slept a few hours in this study, which could explain the increased while lower level at who slept for long periods.

This was just an experiment short controlled, the results fit with other results and found a relationship between lack of sleep and an increased weight, which is confirmed by research constantly.
