@emmatalksnutrition The health habit everyone needs to implement ✨ After the clocks going back at the weekend, let’s talk about sleep! ⏰ I read this research on sleep recently and it really hit home as to how important consistent sleep is ? As a nutritionist, I’m constantly reading research, and I aim to take a holistic approach to health. I believe nutrition is central to good health, but we can also often use nutrition to successfully support other crucial healthy habits too, such as the ability to fall or stay asleep ? Stay tuned as I’ll next be running through my top tips for supporting those sleep hormones naturally ? As always, please do also ask any questions below ? #healthyhabits #sleep #nutrition #avogel #greenwichmeantime #clocksgoingback ♬ original sound - emmatalksnutrition
I'm constantly reading research and wanted to share something I'd read recently with you. I believe nutrition is central to good health, but we can also often use nutrition to successfully support other healthy habits.
So, imagine I told you there was something that could help with all of these important areas of health:
Everyone would be buying it, right? So, what is it?
Yes, sleep. And if you read into it, there’s actually way more benefits than that, but this was the summary of this specific research (1).
But I suppose many of the other benefits of sleep that I'm aware of as a nutritionist, including positive blood sugar control, reduced cravings, more stable mood, better resilience to stress, more stable energy levels, favourable cognitive functions etc.
They all really feed into these larger themes, our outcomes which were looked at in this research.
But, sufficient sleep. Wow. It really is a lifestyle habit we don’t want to overlook, right?!
Sleep really is so protective, so restorative, so we really want to get it right and reap all the benefits.
So, I’m going to make a part 2 to this and detail all my top tips on how to achieve good sleep with the help of nutrition, herbs, and some practical tips to try too, so stay tuned.
