Exercising moderately after having tasted a generous meal helps with digestion and helps to maintain a balanced energy balance. In sedentary people, substituting a walk for a nap reduces the possibility of burning calories , even if sleeping is not the cause of weight gain.
The key lies in the difference between the amount of calories obtained with the diet and those that we expend in daily life. When the energy intake is higher than the consumption, the excess is stored in the form of fat and, therefore, we gain weight. On the other hand, poor sleep can also affect our figure: recent studies show that people with sleep disorders can suffer hormonal changes and a tendency to store kilos.
