Tip # 20: Get your sleep.
What does this have to do with National Nutrition Month? We know that people who get an average of 8 hours of sleep each night are healthier in general. When the body is well rested, it functions better in every capacity including digestion. Sleep also helps to control blood sugars.

People who stay up to watch the late night shows are usually tired and just don't realize it. When you're tired, naturally you look for food. It's your bodies way of saying "Well if you want me to stay awake, you have to give me more fuel." To cut the late night snacking, aim to at least get in bed by ten o'clock. If you're a night owl it will take some time to adjust to an earlier bedtime. However, it will be well worth it in the long run. It's one of the easiest things you can do to help your body out.

Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be back to post another National Nutrition Month tip on Monday!
