The connection between physiological recovery and nutrition is little examined, but new study results could improve the quality of sleep. A research team now examined whether people during sleep with oneHealth -promoting eating behavior and nutritional qualitybetter recover. You have recruited a study population that consisted of 252 mentally polluted adults with overweight. The analysis has delivered interesting knowledge and connections between healthy diet and sleep.
The study authors have measured recovery based on sleep time and heart rate variability. They recorded them in three consecutive nights. The heart rate variability served to measure both the parasympathetic and sympathetic activation of the autonomous nervous system and its relationship, i.e. the balance between stress and relaxation. The parasympathetic nose plays a key role in relaxation, during which it reduces the heart rate and the heart rate variability is high. The eating behavior of the study participants was measured with four different questionnaires and their nutritional quality and alcohol consumption were quantified with two different questionnaires and a 48-hour diet recall. The aim was to examine the connection between physiological relaxation, nutritional quality, alcohol consumption and various aspects of eating behavior, such as eating for hunger and saturation stimuli. The present results come from the data that the research team had collected at the beginning of the intervention.
According to the study authors, a higher parasympathetic activity during sleep time is associated with healthy nutritional quality and lower alcohol consumption. This indicates better physiological relaxation. There may also be a connection to the eating habits and in particular factors that influence the selection of food. Participants with a good stress balance reported an overall improved nutritional quality, higher fiber intake, stronger dietary self -control and less alcohol consumption. However, the authors showthis studyIt is that the cross -sectional study design does not allow causal conclusions. From the results, you cannot conclude that better recovery leads to a healthier diet or whether it supports better recovery.
