How to improve Your Wellbeing?

Do you want to stay healthy, get well and improve the quality of your life? I’m sure the answer is yes.

Do you know how to do that? I’m (almost) sure you don’t.

I want to reassure you: the improvement of your wellbeing is not just a storybook happily ever after, but you can achieve it following 3 easy ways: eating well, doing physical activity, and sleeping well.

These are the “Three Musketeers” of our wellbeing!

However, sleeping well plays a more important role, directly influencing your diet and your exercising. Let’s find out why!

Sleep and Diet: How Sleep Affects Nutrition

A proper diet helps to perverse health and contributes to the good functioning of your body. On the contrary, an unbalanced diet contributes to the development of health problems, like obesity.

Only a few people are aware of the link between obesity and sleep: sleep deprivation is one of the main causes of overweight.

As shown by some research carried by the Berkeley University in California, sleep deprivation stimulates the production of the hormone ghrelin, the so-called “hunger hormone”.

People who sleep poorly are likely to eat more frequently, having unhealthy snacks and producing negative effects on their wellbeing.

So, it’s better if you don’t stay up all night to finish those Netflix marathons.

Sleep and Exercise: Sleeping Well for Better Performances

Running, doing yoga or having a fast-paced walk, whatever activity you decide to do, exercising is beneficial to your wellbeing.

Exercising is a pick-me-up not only for your body but also for your brain. Think about how good you feel after a training session: you feel relaxed, free of any worries, even happier.

Indeed, exercising activates both body and mind and fuels a virtuous circle: the more you exercise, the more you feel better and the sooner you want to exercise again.

However, if you don’t recharge your batteries and don’t sleep sufficiently and well, your physical and mental performances suffer from that. That’s why sleeping well is the key.

Sleeping Well: The Cornerstone of The Wellbeing

We spend 1/3 of our life sleeping; so it’s self-evident how sleeping is fundamental in your life and how it affects both your diet and your physical performance.

Through sleeping, you recover your physical and mental energies, that’s why we can say with certainty that sleeping well helps living better.

The benefits of sleeping well affect several aspects of your life, from your health to your socio-economic situation. Who sleeps well is full of energies, with improved social relationships and working life.

Do you still think sleeping is only just sleeping?
