Quality sleep II: Sleep habits and their impact on our nutritional condition

EVENT DATE:
17/03/2022

EVENT PLACE:
Presencial y vía Zoom

We invite you to a workshop where we will talk about sleep and food. Sleep is a common rest of all people, and taking care of it is essential to maintain a good health. When the required rest is not achieved, it causes the disorder of different biological processes in the human being.

Thus, different studies associate sleep disturbance with malnutrition such as overweight and obesity. The modern lifestyle encourages more and more nighttime activities, electric light, the use of electronic devices and TV that, in others, offer entertainment during the night. These have displaced hours of rest, as well as the extensive working hours which extend our insomnia.

Although it could be assumed that we have adapted to a shorter night and a shorter period of sleep, our body design continues to be synchronized with the biological clock, so that altered biological processes are shown. For instance, appetite control during restlessness and the desire for energetic foods, among other variables, collaborate with a nutritional alteration.

We invite you to participate and deep more into this present issue. At the end, we will have a space for exchanging and clarifying all doubts of the participants.
