Will I get fat if I sleep after eating breakfast?

In today's society, many people have a rich nightlife and tend to sleep late, which makes them still want to sleep when they go to work the next day. So many people want to take a short nap after breakfast. However, many women are afraid that they will gain weight if they go to bed right after breakfast. Some people think that morning is the beginning of the day. Unlike night, when consumption is less, the nutrients eaten are converted into fat and stored. So you won't gain weight. Some people believe that half of the day's calories and nutrients come from breakfast. If you eat it but don't exercise, the calories will be converted into fat and you will gain weight. So the question is, will you gain weight if you go to bed after eating breakfast?

According to relevant scientific reports, sleeping can also help you lose weight.

"Get up! If you sleep any longer you will turn into a fat pig!" Will you get fat if you sleep too much? Professor S Taheri of the University of Bristol in the UK would certainly disagree. He recently reviewed and integrated multiple studies since 1992, and once again confirmed: "If you want to lose weight, please get more sleep."

"You sleep more and don't exercise! Of course you will get fat." My daughter pointed at the largest dragon carp in the small pond. It really didn't move much. Except for floating up to eat feed, it stayed in the corners all day long. "That's right! If you don't exercise, you won't burn fat, so of course you'll be fat!" My wife looked very proud, as if she had finally caught your mistake this time.

"Eat well and sleep well, sleep well and eat well" is almost equated with "fat", but this is just a "taken-for-granted" idea. Scholars from France in 1992, Japan in 1999, Spain in 2000, Britain, Spain, Germany, Japan and the United States in 2002 have continuously challenged this idea. Similar research findings were also made in Taiwan in 2005.

Sleeping less than 4 hours a day is most likely to make you fat

How to prove it? In 2004, Columbia University researcher Gan Weiqi analyzed the obesity status and average sleep time of 18,000 volunteer subjects aged 32 to 59 in the 1980s. Those who slept less than four hours a day were most likely to be obese, with a 73% higher chance of gaining weight than those who slept normally. For those who only slept five hours, the chance of being obese increased by 50%, and for those who slept six hours, it increased by 23%.

"These are just statistics! It could be a coincidence or the data could be deliberately filled in randomly." My wife's questioning spirit is as professional as the professor who examined my thesis oral examination. The verification process of medical academic research usually involves finding a general direction through statistics and epidemiology, and then finding the actual mechanism. Epidemiological surveys do not seem to be convincing enough. In 2004, the University of Chicago recruited 12 men in their 20s to conduct an experiment. As soon as these strong men reported for duty, a tube of blood was drawn to check the levels of leptin and ghrelin in their bodies. Ghrelin is secreted by cells at the bottom of the stomach and pancreas. Its function is to increase hunger and promote appetite. Leptin is secreted by adipose tissue, which can promote satiety and reduce appetite. The two have opposite effects.

This proves that most people will not gain weight if they take a rest after breakfast, but you also need to consider your own health conditions and choose the best health method for yourself. Also pay attention to the rest time. It should not be too long, otherwise you will gain weight. Anyway, I still want to remind everyone that no matter whether you will gain weight or not, sleeping after eating, whether it is breakfast or dinner, is not a good habit, and it may cause stomach problems, so you should exercise more after eating. Finally, I wish everyone a healthy body, having a good body is the most important thing.
