The Surprising Reason Why Sleep Tops Exercise in Health Benefits
On the health underrated list is the power of consistent, deep sleep. Many people spend an inordinate amount of time obsessing about the overrated components of health like exercise and supplements. Meanwhile, the facets of health that truly move the needle in an impactful way - proper nutrition from real food and sleeping habits - are often an after thought.
An overwhelming amount of current research shows that sleep is essential to physical and mental health. The harsh reality is that most people are sabotaging their sleep and missing out on all of the health benefits a sound night of zzz’s has to offer.
Here are a few ways to improve sleep quality and overall health. Do not try to implement all of these improvements at once. Choose a single habit to change, and make that the key- stone habit (the small change that carries over into other as- pects of health) to build upon. This incremental progress is less-challenging to maintain for longer periods of time.
