Individuals with lower stress levels and who take a night’s sleep for at least six to eight hours are found to be more probable towards the achievement of weight loss, as compared to individuals deprived of sleep and who remain nervous or tensed for half of the time. This comes from an excerpt of the new study recently published in International Journal of Obesity.
The study led to the testing of the role of these factors played in affecting human weight loss. For this purpose, a few participants were considered and were asked by the researchers to lose at least 10 pounds within six months duration. The individuals were divided into different categories by the investigators based on the questionnaires the participants were made to answer. The questions were related to their patters and habits of sleeping and how they felt about being nervous; and how easily and frequently they got tensed and nervous, and also what made them feel that way.
Participants who were reported to achieve a minimum of six – eight hours of the night’s beauty rest and those people with the lowest stress levels were seen to have lost a considerable deal of weight, and were closer to losing 10 pounds within the given time. This group of individuals had two times of probability to achieve their weight loss targets along with the constraining factors, compared to those who were among the group of people who slept less than 6 hours and who were frequent in taking stress or were under constant worry, often.
