Turn Off the Lights to Lose Weight?
No matter
how serious you are in eating fewer carbohydrates to bust your weight, there is
something that you must bear in mind: turn the lights off at night and do not
face the computer all night when you lack physical activity.
The
combination of prolonged exposure to light at night and lack of physical
activity may lead to obesity.
Thus,
it is recommendable for people to control their TV viewing and their computer
use at night.
A simple way to limit your light exposure is to turn the light
off while you are sleeping on your bed.
The
reason behind this is that people who face the internet for the whole night may
eat at the wrong hour for dinner. Medically, when the normal meal time is adjusted,
metabolism is also disrupted.
When
people also stay awake at night doing their stuffs in front of the computer or
light, they normally end up eating foods to keep them awake or energetic for
the night. At night, metabolism slows down so all food taken during the night
will be digested in a slower pace.
One
tip to lose weight is to have early dinner. On the other hand, late dinner is a
big no-no.
This
explains why shift workers are more obese that those who work daytime. Shift
workers, who have the higher tendency of having health problems, are prone to
heart diseases and diabetes.
