Sleep to be Sexy, Slim and Smart

" Be smart, feel sexy and become slimmer with a good night's sleep "

To some people, the need for sleep is viewed as a sign of weakness.

It's the new macho - and women, especially, are buying into it.

But while you're asleep, every system in your body is being fine-tuned, reset, cleaned up and restored to its optimal operating mode by an army of molecular troubleshooters.

New things you have learned are being processed, memories are being organised and stored, and the immune system is building a new contingent of natural killer cells to fight off battalions of infectious agents.

Growth hormone is being produced to repair damaged tissue (in adults)

or build new tissue (in children) and to block the corrosive effects of stress.
When you sleep well, you're in peak operating condition.

When you don't, you feel groggy and none of your systems are firing on all cylinders.

You don't think straight, make good decisions, remember where you parked the car or feel like making love.
The resulting chemical glitches will put you on the fast track for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and even obesity.
