Here are some of the ways diet & sleep are connected (PART-1)

👉 Sleep deprivation interferes with making sound decisions, so you're more likely to choose French fries instead of a green salad. You're also less likely to reach for comfort foods when your body feels well-rested.

👉 Lack of sleep disrupts your hormones. Ghrelin levels rise and Leptin levels fall, making
you want to eat more.

👉 Your body needs adequate rest in order to process insulin effectively. Otherwise, your metabolism slows down and your body stores more fat.

HeartMath’s research shows how emotions change our heart rhythm patterns. Positive emotions create coherent heart rhythms, which look like rolling hills – it’s a smooth and ordered pattern. In contrast, negative emotions create chaotic, erratic patterns.

Using a heart rhythm monitor, you can actually see your heart rhythms change in real-time as you shift from stressful emotions like anger or anxiety to positive feelings like care or appreciation.

Coherent heart rhythm patterns facilitate higher brain function, whereas negative emotions inhibit a person’s ability to think clearly. Coherent heart rhythms also create a feeling of solidity and security.
