The Importance of Sleep for Health

National Nutrition Month Tip #14⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ Sleep is just as important for your body as good nutrition! Create a nightly ritual that will help you prepare to sleep--drink a cup of tea, read a book, turn off electronics, maybe meditate (can be a few deep breaths or a deeper meditation for 10-15 minutes) and create a cozy comfy space to rest your body. Studies show that a lack of sleep leads to increased cravings for high calorie, high carb food, sweet, salty and fatty foods, which can make weight loss more difficult! 🌙⁣⠀ ⁣⠀
