WEDNESDAY TIP OF THE DAY - STRESS

Published: Wed, 08/23/17


Good morning and welcome to my TIP OF THE DAY.

Stress 

One of the most important factors to fat loss is stress. It is a huge dictator in the regulation of blood sugar and in particular the hormone cortisol. 

Stress is created in many different ways. The most common stress enhancers are:
  • Family arguments 
  • Moving house
  • Changing jobs
  • Giving birth 
  • New born babies 
  • Wi-fi and electronic signals (including usage of mobile telephones and computers) 
  • Over exercising 
  • Commuting to work 
  • Financial problems 
  • Work stress
  •  Life laundry - Things you need to say and get of your chest
Sleep 

The best way to decrease stress is to improve your sleep. Try to go to bed each night 15 minutes earlier than normal it will accumulate to 2 hours 15 minutes extra per week or 9 hours per month.

That means that the extra 15 minutes has given you one extra nights sleep per month. 

Sleep is often a part of life that people struggle with.

They may find it hard to get to sleep, find it hard to maintain sleep throughout the night or sleep too much.

The average time spent sleeping is 7-9 hours. Any less or more can have negative effects. 

Here are some tips to improve your sleep:
  • Avoid caffeine after mid afternoon 
  • Read before bed instead of computer work or watching TV (these stimulate the brain) 
  • Enjoy a warm bath more often to help you relax 
  • Unplug and light emitting devices in your room 
  • Make your room as dark as possible 
  • Avoid exercise before bed
  • Change your bedding regularly or buy a new mattress 
  • Don’t sleep with your mobile phone next to your head 
  • Supplement with Magnesium
Sleep is also a way of allowing your body to detox. Make this an important part of KSFL. 

Summary:
  • Smaller habits are easier to implement 
  • Organisation creates time and better food choices 
  • Stress increases fat storage by increasing the production of the hormone cortisol 
  • Aim to improve your sleep 
  • Make your bedroom a dark and relaxing environment to rest.    
Losing body fat & improving your health is not all about what you eat, lifestyle issues play such a huge role.
