Unable to quit sugar? Your poor sleeping pattern could be the reason

Getting adequate, uninterrupted sleep is central to our overall well-being. Image by Wokandapix from Pixabay To underline a far-reaching health effect of sleep, a study published by Columbia University looked at the diets and sleeping patterns of over 500 women to see if their caloric intake was influenced by sleep. Concerningly, a third of the women in the study reported inadequate amounts of sleep, which means they slept less than 7 hours a day. What this suggests is that poor sleep promotes hunger, and specifically for unhealthier foods with high sugar and fat content. Most dietitians will agree that foods loaded with high amounts of added sugar need to be strictly restricted since they are the cause of many modern lifestyle issues.
