Did you know that in Morocco fresh seasonal fruits are more commonly eaten than cooked desserts. That’s not a bad way to live! Fresh seasonal produce is not only more delicious than out of season produce, but it is also more nutrient-dense. Plus, eating fresh fruit will help reduce your intake of the excess calories, refined carbs, and sugars that are in traditional desserts. To get back to Morocco, though, this recipe is a traditional Moroccan dish that is very easy to make. It is a great combination of fresh citrus flavors with nutty pecans and aromatic cinnamon.

Because the ingredient list is so short, it is your job to procure the best and freshest oranges you can find. Depending on where you live, certain oranges may or may not be available. If possible, do your best to get Cara Cara oranges, which have a mildly pink flesh that is extra sweet. Tangelos, navel oranges, and blood oranges are also great options, provided they are available at your local grocery store. Blood oranges are incredibly striking and make for a visually appealing dish, but using other oranges will not make this dish taste worse or anything like that.

Now, the last important ingredient to be particular about is the cinnamon. Some people prefer cinnamon sold by specific brands, while others prefer specific types of cinnamon. For example, Vietnamese and Ceylon are two varieties of cinnamon that have a well-balanced and complex flavor. Penzeys makes a cinnamon blend of Ceylon, Vietnamese, Korintje, and China cinnamons. Together, those four cinnamons create a beautifully aromatic blend that perfectly complements the sweet and tangy oranges.

Is rice a nutritious food? White rice typically undergoes processing, so manufacturers enrich it with added nutrients. The hull is missing, but so is the bran and germ. Brown rice, on the other hand, has the hull removed. White rice tends to have a low fiber content, which may cause digestive issues. All that said, many communities around the world eat white rice on a daily basis.

Rice is available in many varieties with different colors, grain lengths, flavors, and textures. That’s ringht, folks, white rice isn’t the only option available! The nutritional quality also varies depending on the type of rice, milling process, agricultural environment, and processing. For example, some varieties have a higher protein and fiber content and exhibit a low glycemic index. Other types of rice that undergo more processing may have a lower fiber, vitamin, and mineral content, which can increase the glycemic index. 

Some types of rice are more suitable for certain dishes, such as sushi rice or jasmine rice for fried rice. If you want rice that exhibits a more nutritionally diverse profile, you may want to avoid white rice and opt for other colors and varieties. Continue reading to learn more about them. 

Black Rice

Rich in antioxidant compounds, specifically anthocyanins, which give the rice its signature purple-black hue. According to researchers, including a lot of anthocyanins in the diet can improve blood glucose and lipid levels, in addition to lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. Nutritional data states that half a cup of cooked black rice provides 3.3 grams (g) of protein, 17.2 g of carbs, 82 calories, and 1.5 g of fiber. It also contains B vitamins, selenium, zinc, and magnesium. Choose lightly milled or whole black rice varieties because milling can decrease the nutritional content. 

Purple Rice

Different from black rice, purple rice is also a rich source of anthocyanin antioxidants. Unlike black rice, purple rice has a sweeter flavor. Half a cup of cooked purple rice contains 90 calories, 19 g of carbs, 2 g of protein, and 1 g of fiber. A small study found that bread made with purple rice did not increase blood sugar levels as much as bread made with white rice. There was, however, no significant difference between white bread and bread made with purple rice. More research is still necessary to understand purple rice’s effect on blood sugar. 

Wild Rice

Did you know that wild rice is actually the seed of an aquatic grass? It has a higher protein and lower fat content compared to other rice varieties, with half a cup of cooked wild rice providing 83 calories, 17.5 g of carbs, 3.3 g of protein, and 1.5 g of fiber. Wild rice also contains a higher resistant starch content than both white and red rice. One study found that digestive starch increased glucose levels more than resistant starch. Researchers state that that is because resistant starch isn’t as digestible, making it more suitable for blood sugar regulation. 

Brown Rice

Being that brown rice is a whole grain, it does create a more balanced meal for blood sugar management. In fact, brown rice has a lower glycemic index than other rice varieties, but it does contain more arsenic than white rice. The outer layer of the grain contains arsenic, which is removed during the milling process to make white rice. This toxic metal only causes acute toxicity in high doses. Long-term exposure of arsenic through diet, though, can pose potential health risks, such as an increased risk of diabetes. A half cup of cooked brown rice offers 109 calories, 23 g of carbs, 2.3 g of protein, and 1.8 g of fiber. 

Red Rice

This type of rice is commonly eaten in southern France, Bhutan, and Thailand. It has a similar nutty flavor and aroma to basmati rice, but red rice has anthocyanins, which is what gives red rice its color. The anthocyanin content isn’t as prevalent in red rice as it is in purple or black rice, which explains the lighter color. Half a cup of cooked red rice contains 92 calories, 19 g of carbs, 2.1 g of protein, and less than 1 g of fiber.

A lot of people, especially overweight people, turn to diet soda to reduce their caloric intake. The appeal is that it is a sugar-free, carb-free, fat-free, zero-calorie beverage. It does, however, contain aspartame, which is about 200 times sweeter than regular sugar. So why is it that a calorie-free drink makes you hungrier?

Let’s remove diet soda from the equation for just a moment. It stands to reason that if you are hungry, you eat something and the hunger goes away. Unfortunately, it isn’t that simple. You have more than likely eaten meals that fill you up more than others, even if you’ve eaten the same amount of food. For example, you go back for chow mein when you’ve already had a full serving. 

Sometimes, it’s not the nutrient density (or lack of nutrients) of the meal that gets in the way of satiating you. It can often be the beverage you drink alongside your meal. A new study found that non-caloric sweeteners that are typically found in diet sodas interfere with the brain’s hunger responses. Basically, these sweeteners make it more difficult for the brain to discern if you are actually full or not. They may even make you feel hungrier. 

How Do Non-Caloric Sweeteners Mess With Hunger Cues?

Aspartame, sucralose, stevia, and erythritol are the most popular sugar substitutes used in diet sodas and some low-calorie processed foods. Unlike regular sugar, these substitutes do not add additional calories. The problem is that consuming these types of sweeteners confuses the brain. In an ideal situation, the brain perceives calories coming in when you consume a food or beverage. That isn’t the case with diet soda, so the brain increases appetite in order to obtain other calories. 

To put it in simpler terms, non-caloric sweeteners confuse the brain. The body is programmed to expect some calories when it consumes something sweet. Zero-calorie sweeteners do not fulfill that expectation, so that mismatch stimulates the brain’s hunger cues and you end up eating more than you normally would as a result. 

Although artificial sweeteners can confuse hunger cues for every person, some people don’t experience as severe an effect as others. During the study, researchers noted that men and women with obesity had a heightened response to non-caloric sweeteners. The difference in reactions between people with obesity and people without obesity was quite evident. People with obesity had a very strong response in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that regulates hunger. If people with obesity drink diet soda, they are more likely to overeat than people without obesity who drink diet soda. 

How To Better Understand Hunger Cues

Why do people with obesity experience a greater impact? Researchers don’t exactly know at the moment, but they suspect it to be a consequence of obesity. Being overweight is just the tip of the iceberg regarding obesity. Many bodily functions and processes influence how a person responds to food. The only thing you can do to fight back is to better understand the body’s hunger cues. 

All dietitians and researchers recommend avoiding diet sodas and other non-caloric sweeteners whenever possible. Ideally, avoid sugar as well, but it can be difficult to do that. Sugar consumption is linked to weight gain, but so is non-caloric sweetener consumption. Hunger and thirst are also easily confused. The body sometimes sends the same signals for hunger and thirst, due to overlapping mechanisms. This can result in unnecessary snacking, so with that in mind, make sure you maintain proper hydration levels.

If you feel hungry all the time, you most likely are not consuming satiating nutrients, including protein, healthy fats, fiber, and complex carbohydrates. Focusing on foods that contain these nutrients, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds, can help you get more of those nutrients. Practice mindful eating, chewing each bite slowly to savor the flavors. Additionally, try to have a dedicated space for eating and don’t sit on the couch, for example, as that can cause mindless eating, so you’ll consume more than you need to without realizing it.

If you have ever engaged in intense workouts, you may have noticed that you leave the workout less hungry than you do after moderate workouts. Science confirmed this with a recent study published in the Journal of Endocrine Society. Higher-intensity workouts, specifically high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, can temporarily suppress appetite and reduce total caloric intake. What’s more, it seems to have a greater effect on women. 

There is a growing body of research that indicates how essential exercise is for weight management. That is not to say that it only helps you burn calories; rather, it appears to influence how much you eat post-workout. But the relationship between exercise and appetite is not straightforward. It often defies the notion that increased activity automatically makes you have a ravenous hunger. Exercise does burn calories, but it also seems to impact the hormones that regulate appetite. 

The new research sheds light on how high-intensity exercise can influence ghrelin levels. Ghrelin is the hormone that stimulates appetite. In this article, we will explore this phenomenon and detail what the researchers observed during the recent study. 

Exercise Intensity Affects Appetite

This recent study investigated the effects of exercise intensity and sex on levels of ghrelin and appetite in untrained humans. It was a small study, consisting of eight males and six females, all of whom completed a maximal graded cycle ergometer lactate threshold (LT)/VO2peak test. 

Participants’ exercise intensity was determined on three randomized control or calorically-matched cycle exercise bouts. The first was no exercise, the second was power output at LT, and the third was power output associated with three-quarters of the difference between LT and VO2peak. 

The participants engaged in three cycling sessions. One session was controlled with no exercise. Another involved participants to cycle at moderate-intensity at their LT. And a third session was high-intensity at 7% of the difference between LT and VO2peak. The researchers looked at appetite using visual analog scales. 

Researchers observed that the females had higher levels of ghrelin and deacylated ghrelin (DAG) at their baseline than male participants. Both male and female participants exhibited reduced DAG levels in higher intensity groups compared to moderate intensity groups. That said, only the females had much higher levels of acylated ghrelin (AG) with high intensity exercise. Finally, hunger scores were higher in the group who performed moderate exercise compared to the no exercise group. 

More Key Findings In The Study

According to the study authors, exercise above the lactate threshold may be required in order to suppress ghrelin. Other key findings are as follows:

• High-intensity suppression: Higher intensity exercise suppressed plasma levels of ghrelin, AG, and DAG in men and women. The significant reduction of AG was only observed in women, though.
• Sex differences: Female participants demonstrated higher baseline levels of total ghrelin and DAG compared to male participants.
• Appetite perception: The feelings of hunger were stronger after moderate-intensity exercise compared to the no exercise control session. 
• Moderate-intensity effects: The moderate-intensity exercise either slightly increased ghrelin levels, or did not change existing levels at all. 

Conclusion

If you want to help suppress ghrelin levels, consider engaging in high-intensity exercise. The findings from this new study reveal that not all exercise yields the same results. High-intensity workouts, such as HIIT workouts, seem to be more effective at suppressing hunger and reducing caloric intake post-workout. Incorporating HIIT workouts into your fitness regimen, then, may help you take control of your hunger and achieve your health and fitness goals.

We wish that we could create a delicious donut for all of our raw vegan cleansers to enjoy, but we don’t possess the talent, unfortunately. Instead, we created these cinnamon bliss balls, which help satisfy your sweet tooth while providing you with with healthy fats, fiber, protein, and more. They are not fried like donuts, nor are they baked. All you need is a food processor and the ingredients, plus a little freezer time to allow the balls to solidify.

We are not here to give you a lecture about these bliss balls; rather, we are here to tell you that YOU NEED TO MAKE THEM. Why is that the case? Well, they are just too delicious not to enjoy, especially during your cleanse. When you are cleansing, it is vital to have snacks that fill you up, as you do not want to constantly eat between your major meals. The fiber and healthy fats help you feel full for longer, but be careful to not eat too many of them at once. Due to the almonds, desiccated coconut, and dates, they are calorically dense. If you eat five of them, you’ll be consuming just over 600 calories!

To make these bliss balls, you will need a food processor, not a blender. There is no liquid in this recipe, except the maple syrup, so a blender would not be able to sufficiently blend the ingredients together. A food processor can handle the job! Once the ingredients form a dough-like consistency, you can stop processing and get ready to roll the bliss balls. Make sure to wet your hands with water to prevent the blended mixture from sticking to your hands. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, freeze until solid, and then enjoy.

It may come as a shock to you, but different fruits contain protein. They are great sources of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, natural sugars, a bit of fat, and even some protein. An apple, for example, does not offer the same amount of protein as a piece of salmon, but it comes with a diverse mix of micro and macronutrients. 

Protein is having a moment, to say the least. This is partially due to the popularity of the carnivore, Paleo, keto, and other high-protein diets. We aren’t here to talk about those diets, though, as many of them discourage the consumption of fruit. That’s because fruits contain carbs and less sugar than animal-based foods. An egg, for example, has about six grams of protein, whereas fruit may only offer a couple grams per cup. 

If you are trying to up your protein intake and diversify your fruit consumption, the fruits in this article may come to your aid. Whole fruits offer key nutrients that support other aspects of total bodily health, so don’t neglect them. They are relatively low in calories and high in water and fiber, two things that benefit gastrointestinal health. So if you are looking to snack healthily and get a little protein in the process, consider the fruits listed below.

Passion Fruit

Passion fruit is a lovely tropical fruit that grows on a vine. The fiber content in one cup of passion fruit is very high, exhibiting a whopping 24.5 grams, which is nearly 88% of the daily value (DV). Fiber works to regulate digestion and promote healthy cholesterol levels. The same cup of passion fruit provides five grams of protein.

Blackberries

One of the great things about blackberries is that they are very high in antioxidant compounds. They also happen to be the berry with the highest amount of protein, exhibiting about two grams per cup. Blackberries are low in calories, rich in fiber, and high in anthocyanin, a phytonutrient that has demonstrated abilities to influence immune function and improve gut microbiome. 

Avocado

Although avocado seems like a vegetable, it is actually a fruit of the savory variety. Avocados offer three grams of protein per cup, in addition to lots of healthy fats that help you feel full. You can enjoy avocado with a spoon and some sea salt, transform it into guacamole, or add it on toast. Just keep in mind that avocados have more calories than other fruits, with one cup of avocado containing 234 calories. 

Kiwi

Didn’t think a kiwi would have protein did you? Well, one cup of kiwi has nearly two grams of protein, which is not bad! Kiwi is also naturally rich in vitamin C, offering about 167 milligrams per cup. That amount is nearly double the DV of vitamin C! Several studies also found that kiwis work to improve digestion and promote bowel regularity, which researchers attribute to their fiber content. 

Guava

Yet another vitamin C superstar, guava is a tropical fruit that offers a lot of protein, especially for its size. One cup of guava has a little over four grams of protein and nine grams of fiber, which is about one-third of the DV. Research continues to find that increasing your fiber intake can reduce blood pressure and promote healthy cholesterol levels, especially in people with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome. 

Apricot

Unlike other fruits, apricots are not typically available year-round, but you can find them in dried form at all times. They typically show up in grocery stores or at farmer’s markets in late spring and summer. Each half-cup of dried apricot halves contains a little over two grams of protein. Dried apricots do not have water, so they are more calorically dense than fresh versions. That same half-cup, then, has about 157 calories, so just keep that in mind when snacking on dried apricots. 

Jackfruit

We are rounding out this article with the largest fruit on the list, the mighty jackfruit. Exhibiting a stringy texture, jackfruit is a common meat substitute for plant-based eaters. If you are swapping jackfruit for chicken, though, keep in mind that one cup of jackfruit offers three grams of protein compared to the 35 grams you’d get from chicken. Because it is not very sweet, it takes on whichever seasonings or flavors you cook with it, but you can enjoy it raw if you like.

If you adhere to the ketogenic diet, you have one responsibility: keep the body in a state of ketosis. Ideally, you consume 60 to 80% of your calories from fat (preferably healthy fats), 20% of your calories from protein, and 10% from carbohydrates. These percentages have a little wiggle room, but the main thing to remember is not to consume too many carbs, or else you will kick your body out of ketosis. 

The idea of the ketogenic diet is based on the understanding that the body uses carbs as the primary fuel source for energy. Once your carbohydrate stores are depleted, the body starts using fat stores to carry out its functions. In theory, it makes sense that this diet will help encourage weight loss, but only if the body continues to burn fat, not carbs. That’s why selecting the right sweetener is paramount, as the wrong ones will drastically increase your carb intake. 

Which sweeteners are acceptable to consume on the keto diet? Stevia and erythritol, which essentially have no carbs, are great keto-friendly sweeteners, but there are others you can enjoy that will keep the body in ketosis. Continue reading to learn more about them. 

Monk Fruit

A great keto-friendly sweetener that often goes unnoticed is monk fruit, which is a plant native to China. In grocery stores, you will likely see it under names like PureLo or Monk Fruit in the Raw. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), this sweetener is safe and about 100-250 times sweeter than regular table sugar. It is calorie-free and one teaspoon (tsp) contains 0.5 grams (g) of carbs. The mogrosides in monk fruit give it the natural sweetness, but they also act as prebiotics, according to some studies. More research is necessary to determine the effects of mogrosides on existing probiotics in your gut.

Yacon Syrup

This is probably a lesser-known sweetener, regardless of your involvement in the keto world. Yacon syrup comes from the roots of the bacon plant, which is native to South America. The syrup contains 50% of the calories of table sugar and is a fabulous source of fructooligosaccharides (FOS). This type of soluble fiber helps regulate cholesterol, but like other sugar alcohols, it may cause bloating or cramps in some people. Yacon syrup works best in coffee or tea, but it may also be used to sweeten salad dressings. Because FOS break down at high temperatures, avoid using it in recipes that involve cooking. 

Stevia

This is a classic low-carb sweetener native to South America, specifically Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, although it grows all over the world. In grocery stores, you will probably see it under names like PureVia or Truvia, but there are many manufacturers that create liquid or powdered versions. Some research found that stevia may lower blood sugar, which could be dangerous for diabetics who take insulin. That said, it may help lower blood pressure, which could benefit someone with high blood pressure. Much like yacon syrup, stevia works well in coffee and tea. Just keep in mind that it is about 200-400 times sweeter than table sugar and will not work well if used in large amounts. 

Xylitol 

Although this sugar alcohol is just as sweet as table sugar, it has fewer calories and carbs. Generally speaking, sugar alcohols do not raise blood sugar in the same way that table sugar does. The reason for this is because the body absorbs sugar alcohol, such as xylitol, much more slowly. According to the FDA, consuming too much xylitol, or other type of sugar alcohol, may cause cramps or diarrhea. You can add xylitol to coffee, tea, and smoothies, but it probably won’t work well in lots of recipes due to potential moisture absorbency. A 2022 study found that xylitol absorbed moisture when used to sweeten chocolate milk. 

Erythritol 

This naturally-occurring sugar alcohol is found in fruits like watermelon and grapes. It also exists in fermented foods, such as soy sauce and cheese. It is roughly 60 to 80% as sweet as table sugar and has zero calories. Erythritol does not spike your blood sugar, nor does it promote tooth decay. Preliminary evidence suggests that erythritol may help lower your total sugar consumption, which could decrease your risk of diabetes and obesity. Use erythritol as a substitute for table sugar in beverages and recipes. Just keep in mind that it has a cooling effect on the tongue and that may feel unpleasant if you use a lot of it.

It’s the middle of March, which can only mean one thing: St Patrick’s Day is nearly here. There is a certain food establishment that serves the classic Shamrock Shake annually. You know the one, right? There are golden arches, or something like that (wink wink). The main thing we want is for you not to succumb to the temptation. Don’t let curiosity get the better of you because one of those small shakes contains the following nutrition:

• Calories: 500
• Total carbohydrates: 82 grams (g)
• Protein: 11 g
• Total Fat: 14 g
• Cholesterol: 55 milligrams (mg)
• Calcium: 380 mg
• Potassium: 500 mg
• Sodium: 160 mg

For reference, the shake is made with vanilla ice cream, a sugary processed syrup, and whipped cream. This recipe doesn’t contain any of those things, because we actually care about your health. The good news is that there are many different ways to create your own shamrock shake. You just have to keep an open mind about your food, and all that you can do with it.

This shake is not really a shake; rather, it’s a smoothie. Avocado contributes to the green color, but so does the spinach and mint. Avocado is a great smoothie ingredient because it helps make it more creamy, while also adding protein, healthy fats, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin C. Don’t worry…you won’t taste it at all, especially since this smoothie also contains bananas, which provide natural sweetness. The touch of raw cacao powder is optional, but it provides the classic mint chocolate combo that a shamrock shake is.

In a world where calorie counting and intense workout regimens dominate weight loss strategies, there’s a lesser-known pathway that taps into your body’s intrinsic ability to burn fat naturally. Imagine if instead of forcing rapid changes through extreme diets, you could simply support your metabolism with nature’s own toolkit. This fresh perspective suggests that by aligning with your body’s natural signals—and the powerful synergy of herbal science—you can achieve sustainable weight loss without feeling deprived or overwhelmed.

The Body as a Self-Regulating Ecosystem

Our metabolism isn’t just a static process that converts food into energy; it’s a dynamic ecosystem with complex feedback loops. Hormones, enzymes, and cellular processes work together to maintain balance. When this ecosystem functions optimally, it efficiently converts stored fat into energy, supports healthy weight, and even improves overall well-being.

Many modern diets focus on restricting calories or isolating specific nutrients. However, this approach often ignores the harmonious interplay of natural processes within our bodies. What if the secret to sustainable weight loss lies in nurturing this ecosystem? By providing the right herbal support, you can gently coax your metabolism into a state where it naturally burns fat more efficiently—an insight that may reshape your understanding of weight management.

Herbal Synergy: Nature’s Blueprint for Fat Burning

Herbal science offers a multi-dimensional approach to boosting metabolism, one that has been refined over centuries of traditional use and is increasingly supported by modern research. Unlike synthetic supplements that often target one aspect of metabolism, herbs work on multiple fronts, creating a balanced and sustainable effect.

Consider these powerful herbal allies:

• Ginger & Cayenne Pepper: Known for their thermogenic properties, these herbs help raise your body’s internal temperature. This natural heat generation accelerates metabolic processes, increasing the rate at which your body burns calories without the need for harsh stimulants.
  
• Cinnamon: Beyond its role in regulating blood sugar, cinnamon helps maintain steady energy levels. By smoothing out the peaks and valleys in your blood sugar, it prevents energy crashes that often lead to cravings and overeating.
  
• Dandelion Root: Often overlooked, dandelion root supports healthy digestion and acts as a natural diuretic. It aids in flushing out excess water and toxins, which can reduce bloating and promote a more efficient metabolic process.
  
• Green Tea Extract: Packed with antioxidants and catechins, green tea extract not only energizes the body but also helps convert stored fat into usable energy.
  

The secret lies in how these herbs work together. Instead of relying on one single ingredient to spark fat burning, a well-crafted herbal formula can create a synergistic effect—amplifying the benefits of each component and supporting your body’s natural metabolic rhythms.

A Holistic Shift: Supporting Your Metabolism Naturally

Traditional weight loss strategies often rely on short-term fixes that overlook the importance of long-term metabolic health. A more holistic approach acknowledges that your body is designed to maintain balance and that with the right support, it can be its own best fat-burning machine.

This new understanding leads to a transformative insight: rather than waging war against your body with restrictive diets and extreme workouts, you can work in harmony with its natural processes. By using herbal remedies to enhance metabolic functions, you’re not just burning fat—you’re cultivating a state of health that sustains weight loss over time.

Integrating Herbal Science Into Your Daily Life

Incorporating herbal support into your routine doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about making small, meaningful adjustments that empower your body to function optimally. Here are a few practical steps to consider:

1. Morning Boost: Start your day with a warm cup of herbal tea infused with ginger, cayenne, or even green tea. Just keep in mind that green tea contains caffeine. This can kickstart your metabolism and prepare your body for the day ahead.
   
2. Balanced Meals: Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that complement the action of herbal supplements. Incorporate fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains to provide the fuel that your body needs to maintain an efficient metabolism.
   
3. Mindful Hydration: Adequate water intake is crucial for metabolic processes. Consider adding a slice of lemon, berries, or various herbs to your water for an extra nutritional boost.
   
4. Gentle Movement: Regular, moderate exercise—like a brisk walk or yoga—can further enhance the effects of herbal support. Movement not only burns calories, but also helps regulate hormone levels, creating an ideal environment for fat burning.
   
5. Evening Ritual: Wind down your day with a calming routine. A small dose of herbal support in the evening can aid digestion and help your body transition into a restorative sleep cycle.
   

By integrating these practices, you create a lifestyle that naturally supports your metabolism. Over time, this balanced approach can lead to noticeable improvements in energy levels, digestion, and overall vitality—proving that sustainable weight loss isn’t about drastic measures, but rather nurturing your body’s innate capabilities.

Is there anything better than a good night’s sleep? You wake up in a good mood and when you sit up and get out of bed, it’s as though your body thanks you for that rest. Contrast to the mornings when you wake up after a minimal amount of sleep. You don’t feel like yourself and you usually see dark circles under your eyes. You feel sluggish and would give anything for a few more hours of sleep. 

Growing evidence indicates that sleep is necessary for maintaining long-term health. The body can typically handle a few nights with minimal sleep, but it is not sustainable over time. There will be a price you pay if you continually get insufficient sleep, according to health experts. In this article, we’ll detail some of the health problems linked to sleep deprivation.

Type 2 Diabetes

People who experience minimal sleep or poor quality sleep tend to have poorer blood sugar control, especially in people with diabetes. Additionally, sleep deprivation can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to some studies. In a group of middle-aged Caucasians, researchers observed a strong connection between poor sleep quality and metabolic syndrome, fasting blood duster levels, insulin levels, and insulin resistance, a precursor for type 2 diabetes. 

Kidney Issues

Unfortunately, the link between insufficient sleep and kidney health has not been as firmly established as the link between poor sleep and other health conditions. Researchers note that people with chronic kidney disease tend to have sleep disorders, including restless leg syndrome and insomnia related to their condition. Some evidence shows that poor sleep quality may increase the risk of developing chronic kidney disease. Researchers believe that the link could be related to disruptions to the circadian rhythm. 

Depression And Anxiety

According to research, people who have chronic insomnia have a higher rate of depression and anxiety. An estimated 40% of people with insomnia have clinical depression. The relationship between your mood and sleep is complex and bidirectional. That means that depression or anxiety can negatively impact sleep and lack of sleep can negatively affect your mood. Sleep experts consider insomnia to be an independent risk factor for developing mental health disorders, such as depression. You may need to address your sleep problems and anxiety or depression separately in order to improve your overall health. 

A Less Healthy Gut

The gut microbiome is a complex system of trillions of microorganisms found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Experts believe that the more diverse the microbiome, the better a person’s overall health is. Some studies suggest that altered sleep patterns, such as those consistent with night shift workers, may impact gut health. One study used Mendelian randomization, a method that looks at genetic variation to study the effects of different health variables. This study found that sleep issues may alter the abundance of bacteria in the gut. 

Hypertension, Stroke, And Heart Disease

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the smallest changes in sleep have been linked to heart issues. After the clocks change in March, there are 24% more heart attacks for the first three to four days. When the clocks “fall back” in November, the AHA estimates a 21% reduction in heart attacks because people gain an hour of sleep. Sleeping for five hours or less per night on a regular basis has been associated with a two to three times greater risk of coronary artery buildup. That decreases the flow of blood to your heart, so sleep deprivation may increase the risk of coronary artery disease. 

Reduced Immune Function

Sleep experts suggest that insufficient sleep or poor sleep quality can harm immune function. Evidence shows that poor sleep increases your susceptibility to various infections and illnesses. Studies show that people who sleep less than seven hours per night are three times more likely to develop the common cold compared with people who get eight hours or more of sleep per night. 

Additional research states that insufficient sleep can make it more difficult for the body to produce disease-fighting antibodies, specifically after receiving flu, hepatitis A, and hepatitis B vaccines. Participants who only slept four hours per night in the days before and following vaccination developed lower levels of antibodies compared to those who had great sleep. 

Weight Gain

Unfortunately, there is a strong connection between sleep issues and being overweight or having obesity. Failure to get enough sleep every night can cause a hormonal imbalance, and these are the hormones that regulate appetite. Ghrelin makes you feel hungry and leptin helps you feel full. Leptin levels tend to rise during sleep, so the theory is that insufficient sleep causes a decrease in those levels. That makes you feel hungrier, which leads to unnecessary eating. Additionally, sleep disturbances of any kind can increase the production of ghrelin, which increases appetite. Studies suggest that insufficient sleep can make people burn 100 more calories per day. While that sounds wonderful, the extra wake time increases how much people eat or drink by more than 250 calories per day. Over time, that can cause people to gain weight.
