To Lose/Gain Weight, Sleep:

A recent survey carried out by Canadian researchers claims sleep to be the main influencing factor that causes people to lose weight and put on the pounds. The study, which was published in the medical journal Sleep stated 7 hours as enough time for a person to sleep in order to stay in shape.

The human body, when asleep, releases certain valuable hormones. Some of these hormones affect how the body uses up energy to carry out various functions. The less sleep an individual gets, the more he is inclined to exhibit a desire for foods rich in calories and carbs. The high level of release of the hormone ghrelin, which signals hunger, is believed to cause these urges.

This is why at Body Makeover Systems we encourage our weight loss training clients to relax and rest their bodies adequately. Your healthy weight loss program is aided greatly by the routine chalked out by our personal trainer Los Angeles.

For those individuals who have enrolled in the Michael Thurmond Spa program, we even grant an allowance which they are encouraged to blow up on relaxing treatments at the Spa complex.

Some of the relaxing activities you can indulge in at our Santa Monica Body Makeover Spa are pilates, yoga, water aerobics and even a complete aromatherapy massage. Drop by for an appointment at Body Makeover Systems.
