Set Biological Hours to Avoid Potbelly

News Health Articles - Set Biological Hours to Avoid Potbelly. Obesity is not only influenced by how much food we eat and how much we exercise, but also influenced by the biological hours in the body. Food and illumination at night of excessive damage at the body and cause obesity because of the emergence of the hunger hormone uncontrolled.

"Just stop eating for a period of 12-16 hours before waking. Once it starts to eat again, the biological hours will be reset as if beginning a new day. The body will consider the sunset as the beginning of the next day," said Clifford Saper, professor of neurology and Harvard Medical School neuroscientist also head of neurology department at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

Resetting the body hours may shy away from obesity and get a flat stomach by reducing 3.6 kg in just 3 days.

6:00 to 8:00 am: Wake up
Within 30 minutes after waking and before breakfast, do 20 minutes of physical exercise. The study found that exercising before a meal causes burns fat more efficiently and morning sunlight helps reset the body's biological clock reset the body that can not be done by artificial light.

Before breakfast and every meal, drink two glasses of 0.23 liters of water.

7:00 to 9:00 am: Breakfast

15-20 minute nap will restore the energy level is more effective than eating snacks.

15:30: Drinking Coffee
Last call for caffeine intake. Drinking coffee before 4 pm can prevent sleep disturbances body's biological clock cycles.
