You Sleep Better
You may have heard that regular exercise can help you sleep better, but it's also a fact that the act itself of losing weight (whether through diet, exercise, or both) is also proven to have a positive effect on your rest.
Researchers from Johns Hopkins found that loss of weight, especially in belly fat, had a significant positive impact on sleep quality, including that of people with sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, daytime fatigue, and insomnia.
Not to mention, it can also eliminate or reduce problems with snoring. That means more restful nights for you and your partner!
