Stress, Weight loss, Sleep and Roses
Written by admin
Roses are surely beautiful and have been used throughout history to boost the immune system, smooth skin, get rid of toxins and even soothe your irritability and insomnia.
It now appears scientific research is confirming that, whether you get the benefits of roses from tea, oil or pill form, different parts of the rose, considered “queen of flowers” really can keep you healthy and feeling young.
This article is focused on how Roses can relieve stress and insomnia. You may have heard that the scent of lavender can promote faster, sounder sleep. Roses work just as well, and many people prefer the smell. Roses are rich in calming chemicals called esters. The next time you are having trouble sleeping or you just feel stressed out, either take a rose and just sniff the most luxurious fragrance or take a cotton ball containing a drop of rose oil and put it onto your pillowcase.
Can Roses help you lose weight? Well, when you are stressed out, maybe you run to food or cigarettes? Just smell the roses or rose oil to relax yourself and relieve that stress.
Does sleep affect your weight loss. It sure can. You need at least 7-8 hrs a night and if you don’t get that, your body can’t rejuvenate and release the proper hormones during sleep. When you wake up refreshed, you feel good.
So what’s the hormonal connection to sleep? “When you don’t get enough sleep, it drives leptin levels down, which means you don’t feel as satisfied after you eat. Lack of sleep also causes ghrelin levels to rise, which means your appetite is stimulated, so you want more food,” Breus tells WebMD.
So whatever it takes to get that good night sleep can affect your stress and possibly your weight loss.
