1. SLEEP:

The Quantity and Quality of your sleep directly affect your mental and physical health.

What happens when we are sleep-deprived?
- Lack of alertness
- Memory suffers
- Risk of infection and chronic illnesses increase
- Libido decreases
- Your looks suffer
All these symptoms are the same as how we would describe elderly people.
Sleep deprivation has a direct link to overeating and weight gain
- Lack of sleep affects our hunger hormones.
- Lack of sleep increases food cravings, more specifically cravings for sugar and carbs.
- It slows down metabolism, and the body’s ability to process carbs and sugar.
