This episode is a must-listen for you. Welcome back to our latest episode! Today, we're exploring a topic that's creating a buzz in the health and wellness world: how intermittent fasting can improve your sleep for those struggling with sleepless nights or waking up feeling less than refreshed.
We dive into the connection between our eating habits, huge meals, and late-night snacks and their impact on our sleep cycle. Interestingly, sleep itself counts as a natural fasting period that our bodies experience every night.
Research reveals that intermittent fasting can align our circadian rhythms, aiding in easier sleep onset and more rejuvenating wake-ups. Regular fasting induces physiological changes, including lower insulin and increased melatonin levels, enhancing sleep quality.
To optimize intermittent fasting for better sleep, we discuss strategies such as tuning into your body's needs to identify the best fasting and eating windows, ensuring adequate hydration during the day, and monitoring how different foods influence your sleep.
If this episode struck a chord with you, share it with friends and family who could also benefit from the wonders of intermittent fasting.
