HOW TO BURN BODY FAT WHILE YOU ARE SLEEPING?
Phone screens, bedtime and other daily habits can be the reason why your body stubbornly gains weight. Although it is not entirely possible to lose weight overnight, there are some tips to burn more fat while sleeping. Turkey Medicals tells all the ways to make your body more efficient for losing weight.
.
1- GET MORE SLEEP
- It seems impossible that sleep is the fastest way to lose weight, but with a lack of sleep, the body produces less satiety hormone, while ghrelin, a hormone that promotes hunger, produces more. Being tired is equivalent to being hungry, so make sure you get enough sleep to lose weight.
.
2- SLEEP AT A LOW TEMPERATURE
- Sleeping in a warm room reduces your ability to metabolize fats. By sleeping at a low temperature, you increase your ability to metabolize fats, as well as increase the amount of fat in your body that burns calories by 42 percent.
. - However, sleeping at a low temperature makes insulin sensitivity better, reducing the risk of diabetes. Sleep naked to increase these benefits!
.
3- CLOSE THE CURTAINS
- After sunset, our body naturally produces melatonin, but both indoor lights and dim street lights can slow down the onset of melatonin produced in our body.
. - So if the street light is coming in through your window, you’d better close your curtain.
.
4- FOLLOW THE INTERMITTENT FASTING DIET AT NIGHT
- This restricted nutrition program keeps your body healthy and allows for cell repair. But for those who are used to eating during the day, it can be excessive. So, to begin with, you can create a fasting window lasting about 12 hours at night.
. - For example, if you sleep for 7 hours, you can stop eating and drinking 4 hours before bedtime and have Turkish Mediterranean breakfast 1 hour after waking up.
.
5- TURN OFF ELECTRONIC DEVICES
- The phone and computer screens emit blue light, which keeps our system fully awake and signals that it is daytime. This, in turn, increases hunger and insulin resistance.
. - All you have to do is put your phone in night mode and turn off your computer completely or move it to another room.
.
6- HAVE LIGHT MEALS IN THE EVENING
- When you eat large meals, during the night your body will try to digest the Turkish food instead of properly discharging it.
. - That’s why you should give preference to more easily digestible dishes in the evening, especially avoiding carbohydrates. Save large lamb kebab meals for noon.
.
7- EAT COTTAGE CHEESE
- We told you above to stop eating a few hours before bedtime, but cottage cheese is actually a snack against all other snacks.
. - Consuming cottage cheese can actually help you lose weight because it makes you wake up less hungry.
. - Casein in cottage cheese makes it high in protein, the amino acid tryptophan in its content can help you fall asleep faster and improve sleep quality.
.
8- DO A RESISTANCE EXERCISE
- Exercises help you sleep at night and lose more weight than just a cardio routine. Resistance training speeds up your metabolism and allows fat burning to occur after a few hours.
. - An easy weight lifting routine will be enough, you don’t need to push yourself too hard. If it raises your energy too much, do it a few hours before bedtime.
.
9- TAKE A HOT SHOWER
- A hot shower relieves painful muscle and tension. It also increases the production of oxytocin (the love hormone), which is incredibly soothing.
. - Taking a shower increases your body temperature, but after removing the towel, this heat decreases and the whole system relaxes.
.
10- GIVE UP ALCOHOL
- Alcohol causes your body to metabolize alcohol instead of switching to the precious rem sleep.
. - Alcohol sugars work your liver overnight to detoxify alcohol, preventing the body from converting fat into ketones. This, in turn, destroys the process of burning fat at night.
