Good Sleep Keeps Diabetes Away

Good Sleep Keeps Diabetes Away

In today's fast-paced world, it is common for youngsters to work late into the night. As a result, they often do not get the proper amount of sleep their bodies need. This lack of adequate sleep can lead to various problems that affect their ability to function in their daily routines. But skipping sleep has serious consequences beyond just feeling tired.

There are various studies that show that poor appetite and bad eating habits, metabolic disruption, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, and oxidative stress leads to diabetes.

Disrupting natural sleep-wake cycle further messes up with an individual metabolism and hence increases the chances of developing diabetes.

Dr. Sonali Kagne, a Deputy Consultant at the Department of Endocrinology, Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai, explains that stress hormone imbalances and belly fat also contribute to insulin resistance.

In short, sleep is crucial for keeping your metabolism in check and protecting against diabetes. Aiming for seven to nine hours of sleep each night can help you stay healthy.

As we juggle the demands of modern life, let's not forget how important sleep is for our well-being. For preventing diabetes, a good night's sleep might be the best medicine.
