Improve Sleep

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 04:44:33 GMT

If you are trying to lose weight, it’s not just about food and exercise – the quality of your sleep will impact on your results too. An analysis by researchers at Columbia University found that people that sleep less than 7 hours a night are heavier, gain more weight over time and have a harder time losing weight. This week we will examine the reasons why you need to get more sleep if you want to keep your waistline under control.

It stops late night snacking – The later you go to bed, the more likely you are to consume extra calories that you don’t need. Let’s face it, watching a late-night movie and snacking tends to go together.
It helps burn more calories – Research has shown that those who have adequate sleep burn 5% more calories than those who are sleep deprived when at rest. If your body is missing out on precious sleep, it becomes ‘stressed’ – and this can ‘slow down’ your metabolism
It helps you shop for healthier food – It’s dangerous to shop when you are hungry: but being tired is no better. In a study published in the ‘Obesity’ journal, they found that sleep-deprived men bought an extra 1300 calories of food compared to well-rested males. A lack of sleep can certainly cloud your judgement, and this is dangerous when you are grocery shopping.
It improves your fat burning ability – If you are missing out on valuable sleep and eat the same amount as a well-rested person, you won’t drop as much weight as them. Another study by the University of Chicago put 2 groups of overweight people on the same calorie-controlled diet, but those got seven hours a sleep per night (or more) lost more weight than the ‘poor’ sleepers.

Need we say more? Sleep is valuable as crucial biological functions occur (such as muscle repair, cell regeneration etc) while you are getting some shuteye.

However, if you are losing weight, it is even more important to get enough hours of sleep if you want success on the scales.

I hope you enjoyed the Christmas & New Year celebrations and managed to be sensible with your food & drink choices – well we are sure that was the plan but sometimes it got tricky, right?

The problem is many of us grant ourselves permission to ‘fall off the wagon’ for few weeks in December however, the party season is over now, and the beauty of January is that you can wipe the slate clean, get back into your groove and renew your journey to good health.

In our modern world toxins are almost impossible to avoid. Environmental toxins include things like pesticides, food additives and colourings, air and water pollutants (just to name a few). However, toxins can also be generated within your own body. For example, if you have an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in your intestines, these can produce toxins that cause inflammation and free radical damage of your precious organs.

Your body is cleverly designed to break down the toxic substances you are exposed to and eliminate them. However, if you live in a polluted environment, are stressed, drink alcohol / coffee, smoke cigarettes or suffer with nutrient deficiencies, the detox channels in your body can quickly become overwhelmed. If your body is overloaded with toxins, you are likely to feel tired, sluggish and bloated. You may even feel slightly depressed or anxious and suffer with a foggy head.

If this sounds like the way you feel, then your health would greatly benefit from following a structured detox regime. The Natural Way 2-week Detox plan can enable you to experience a range of health benefits, such as:

Increased energy
Reduced sugar cravings
Less abdominal bloating
Clear skin
Improved concentration and memory
Better moods and less mood swings
Better sleep
Improved immune system function
Less fluid retention

If you have no weight to lose but feel ‘blah’ after a few weeks of Christmas overindulgence, then you need to get back into ‘fighting fit’ shape with a complete body detox – look no further!

The Natural Way has a 2 – week DETOX Kit has everything you need to feel great again including two specific cleansing formulations and comprehensive detox dietary guidelines.

DETOX Value Pack is available at The Natural Way Tamworth or Gunnedah or via mail order for a VERY SPECIAL price of $67 ($10 OFF the normal RRP of $77).
