A goodnights sleep is important for helping your body to recharge and repair!
Most adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep.
Your body has been working non-stop since you woke up!
It needs proper rest to help regulate all your internal functions like lowering your blood pressure!!
Take a look at the way that you... Do you eat out of habit? Boredom? Stress? or Real Hunger?
Identifying eating patterns can help you work toward the changes you want to make.
Make sure you are setting realistic weight goals using your BMI as a guide (not necessarily a goal.)
Food may be fuel for the body, but too much of the wrong kind can gum-up your system and start to through you off.
Tips
Set alarms to go to bed as well as to wake up.
Cut back on the late-night snacking.
Staying up late to eat makes more work for your body and less recharge time.
Keep a food journal to start monitoring you're eating habits and the nutritional value of your meals.
