Teens that sleep less 'will eat more fatty foods'
A new study has found that teenagers who sleep less typically eat more fatty foods and discard healthy family recipes.
The research, published in the September issue of Sleep, found that teens getting less than eight hours sleep per weeknight ate higher proportions of fatty foods and snacks than adolescents who slept for eight hours or more.
It was also found in the study of 240 teens that this change in eating patterns may have more of an impact on girls.
"The relative increase in fat consumption among shorter sleepers by 2.2 per cent per day chronically may contribute to cumulative increases in energy consumption that would be expected to increase risk for obesity and cardiovascular disease," said senior author and principal investigator Susan Redline.
Dora Walsh, nutritional therapist and founder of Nutriheal, recently explained that discarding healthy family recipes for breakfast can result in dramatically-lowered productivity.
