Junk food craving: Exercise could go a long way in controlling it

Previous research has shown that a short night’s sleep tends to make people eat more and choose foods that are higher in fat and sugar. A recent study from researchers in Sweden suggests that despite feeling tired and lacking motivation, exercise could be a means of warding off junk food cravings after a few short nights’ sleep. Exercise could be a means of beating junk food cravings after a few short nights’ sleep. This latest study, from researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden, suggests that physical exercise could counteract the effects of chronic lack of sleep on the increased risk of becoming overweight or obese. In fact, even in cases of chronic sleep loss, exercise could be a means of regaining “neurological balance.” The study is published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology.
