Sleep Duration and Obesity in Middle-Aged Australian Adults
A recent study involving 40,834 Australian adults has proved an indisputable link between sleep deprivation and obesity. In the study it was found that middle age adults who slept less than 7 hours a night had a much higher incidence of obesity than those that slept for more than 7 hours.
This study highlights the importance of addressing sleep in the treatment of obesity. A naturopathic approach to weight loss includes addressing your sleep for maximum results.
