Weight Gain & Sleep Apnea

People having Sleep Apnea issues may experience unexplained weight gain

There are 2 reasons for that

1.Too Tired To Exercise

2.Hormonal Imbalances

1 .. Too Tired To Exercise

• Poor quality sleep leaves you with low energy to get up early in the morning & go to a Gym class

• If you move less & less because you are constantly tired, chances are that the weight will start adding up

2 .. Hormonal Imbalance

• Due to poor quality of sleep at night, the hormones that control hunger can become imbalanced

• You may feel you need to eat more because of this hormone imbalance

• Often, when people are tired, they reach for sweet snacks filled with empty calories to help give them energy

• A desire to eat more calories paired with a lack of energy to exercise results in OBESITY
