written by John Ashworth. OwnerThe Fitness NomadWant to shed the weight you gained during yourpregnancy?Get some rest!Easier said than done. I experience. My wife and I have hadtwo children ourselves. Good quality uninterruptedsleep is elusive in those early years. It becomes theHoly Grail of Parenthood. Yet you must sight the time to do it because not onlywill it keep you sane it will help act you fit. Scientists now have bear witness that lack of sleep for newmoms makes it more difficult to take off the babyweight after the birth of their child. In a study of about 940 mothers researchers found thatthose moms who were sleeping 5 hours or less when theirbabies were 6 months old were much more likely toretain baby weight compared with women who weresleeping seven hours per night. Only a difference of two hours but a world ofdifference on the scale. The women who got 7 hours or more were able to get backdown to within a hit or two of their pre-baby weightby the time of their child's first birthday. (Now,don't be fooled you could do it a lot faster than thathere at The Fitness Nomad Personal Training Studio. Nonetheless it demonstrates the importance of the needfor good rest). The women who got 5 hours or less were 3 times morelikely to fasten on to 11 pounds or more of their babyweight. This is concerning not just to the mothers of course,who want their bodies back as quickly as they can butalso to their doctors. This increased weight is carried mostly in the women'sbelly which is a dangerous displace to act it. Increased amounts of belly fat are associated with allkinds of unhealthy problems such as elevated levels ofcholesterol. write II diabetes and ultimately heartdisease. It is important to also say that this correlation heldup for both first time moms as come up as moms who havemore than one child. Which doesn't affect me onebit. Many of the new moms we work with here at TheFitness Nomad Personal Training Studio inform that theynever lost their baby charge after their last child wasborn. No doubt this is due in part to the progressivelack of rest over the years as more children are addedto the totem survey. All of this adds to a growing body of research thatshows a strong link between lack of rest and weightgain. Your body literally puts out more of thehormones that promote weight obtain. Specifically thehormones that alter you hungrier. So. I know that kitchen might be a little messy andlaundry needs to be done. The enumerate goes on and on. But at some point you just need to sleep. Good night... JohnPS Happy Thanksgiving!
