Did you know that aside from weight loss surgery and exercise, one of the other ways you can lose weight is from sleeping?
Studies have shown that insomniacs and short sleepers burn less calories than those who have slept longer when they wake up. Even when walking, overweight people who had a good night sleep burn over 1,000 calories more than those with normal weights who had lesser or no sleep.
Some doctors believe this is caused by several factors. Lack of sleep can cause disruption of our body’s natural hormones, which can result to overeating. Stress is also another factor, as people tend to eat more when they are stressed.
But of course, this doesn’t mean that people should sleep all the time. This just means that people should get at least 8 to 9 hours of sleep to lose weight. If you sleep way too much, your boss or teacher might get mad at you. XD
This two funny pictures made my day! One is a drunk local cat who seems to gulp a bottle of The Bar. While the other one was taken I think from a neighboring Asian country, based from its plate number. A carabao as a backride haha!
I’m thinking of getting myself a Wii Fit soon.
My siblings and I have always been moaning about how much we need to lose some weight, and since our PlayStation got washed up during Ondoy (no more Dance Dance Revolution T_T), we have been looking for another alternative console for our fun/ exercise needs.
As it turns out, Wii Fit has a collection of exercises that range from Yoga, aerobics strength training and balance exercises, which I guess would come in handy when I cross those bamboo poles/ bridges in the province… those things scare the heck out of me. ~_~
But first, I have to get enough money for it. Looks like my wallet has to go on a diet first. XD
