Hidden causes of weight gain: How hormones and sleep affect your waistline
Weight gain is not just caused by overeating or inactivity, but also by hormonal imbalances and poor sleep habits. Hormones like insulin, cortisol, ghrelin, and leptin play a crucial role in weight regulation. Sleep deprivation disrupts these hormones, affecting hunger and fat storage. Maintaining a hormonal balance through diet, stress reduction, and ensuring adequate sleep can help manage weight effectively.
