How powerful was ‘Killer at Large’?? It ‘s infuriating that more and more
people are starting to realize and believe that the epidemic of childhood
obesity is directly related to the food they eat BUT very little is being done
about it. Everyone should see the documentary!
Congratulations to MS. PENNY ELLISON for winning thoses sassy sleep masks and
melatonin!!
Last’s night’s topic: The importance of SLEEP
As you all know sleep plays a huge role in maintaining a healthy balance in
our bodies, Having less than 7.5 to 8 hours of solid sack time can actually
increase the risk of diseases such as cancer, obesity, heart attacks, diabetes,
stroke and high blood pressure.
But I don’t think we understood what a
critical weight management tool that sleep is. Having less sleep actually
INCREASES your insulin. Insulin is what needs to be avoided like the plague and
yet we are unaware of its ability to spike while we sleep. Unbelieveable. Do
whatever you must to get at least 7.5 – 8 hours of sleep per night. We try very
hard not to spike our insulin during the day so we can’t have it spiking at
night either.
Melatonin is a natural hormone that our bodies produce and by increasing the
level through supplementation can really go along way in improving the quality
and length of our sleep!!
Have a wonderful day,
Amy
