Men should start from sleep to avoid obesity

The ancients used "sleep" to refer to sex, which implicitly showed the inseparable relationship between the two. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, sex and sleep are closely related. Good sleep quality can "charge" the heart and enhance physical fitness.

If you don't get enough sleep, your sexual desire and performance will decrease.

According to research results, men tend to fall asleep faster and more soundly after sex, and it can even be said that sex prevents them from suffering from insomnia. Therefore, some doctors have taken improving the quality of sex life as one of the prescriptions for treating insomnia.

Lack of sleep is an important cause of obesity. The busy modern life makes people increasingly ignore the importance of sleep. In the long run, not only will the body shape be out of shape, but also sub-health status will appear. Therefore, healthy weight loss should start with sleep, which is also a way to help men stay away from obesity.

" Many men with poor sleep quality have beer bellies, and men with beer bellies often have poor sleep quality."

Experts from the China Sleep Research Society said that when conducting a statistical analysis of obese people in the United States, the world's largest "fat country", they found a bidirectional correlation between beer belly (also known as central obesity) and sleep problems, although the causal relationship between the two is not yet very clear.

The causes of a beer belly are complex. In addition to genetics, diet, exercise and other factors, many people don’t realize that poor sleep quality is also a major culprit.

Experts say that people's sleep conditions gradually decline from youth to middle age to old age, and the most prominent manifestation is the deterioration of the quality of slow-wave sleep (commonly known as deep sleep). Deep sleep is particularly important to a person's overall health, as it plays an important role in helping the body eliminate fatigue, resist immunity and fight disease.

In addition, middle-aged men often play the role of "pillars" in the family and society, and the "overwhelming pressure" makes their sleep conditions worse.

The combined effects of physiological, psychological and social factors change the body's neuroendocrine status and increase the secretion of adrenal cortex hormones and sex hormones, which can easily cause fat to accumulate in the abdomen, resulting in central obesity, also known as beer belly. Central obesity is closely related to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension.

It is suggested that if middle-aged office men want to improve their sleep quality and stay away from beer belly, they should start with the word "movement".

Sleep is a physiological instinct. As long as you maintain a regular and orderly life with a combination of movement and rest, sleep will come naturally.

For middle-aged men who often engage in mental work, walking exercises for half an hour in the morning and afternoon, and taking 15 minutes to rest at noon (you don’t have to fall asleep, just close your eyes and rest quietly) to relax your brain are very helpful for maintaining the body’s dynamic and static balance and can also promote sleep. So if men want to maintain a good figure and stay away from obesity, they should start with sleep. If you sleep well, you will be in good spirits, and stress will naturally be reduced, and obesity will stay away from you!

A man spends more than one-third of his life sleeping. Normal and good sleep can regulate physiological functions and maintain the balance of the nervous system, which is an important part of life. Poor and insufficient sleep will cause the brain to rest poorly, which will make people dizzy and weak the next day. It can be seen that sleep is closely related to health, work and study. In order to get a good sleep at night, it is very important to remember the three taboos before going to bed: avoid eating too much, avoid excessive entertainment, and avoid drinking strong tea and coffee.
