要减肥,多睡觉
芝加哥:周一发表的一项研究表明,睡眠少的人往往比较胖,因而专家们说,现在是弄清楚增加睡眠可否减肥的时候了。“我们对节食和锻炼的作用强调得太多,以至于忽略了良好睡眠的价值。”西北大学的医生弗雷德•图莱克说道。“实际上,社会强调的恰恰与之相反,”他还说,在律师事务所这样的工作场所,按小时收费的工作时间是至关重要的,工作日普遍较长。
周一发表的这项研究来自位于诺尔福克市的东弗吉尼亚医学院。该研究调查了1000人,结果显示,在体重指数(一种考虑身高因素的测量体重的方法)增加时,睡眠时间减少了;男性比女性平均少睡27分钟;超重和肥胖的病人比体重正常的病人睡得少。总体上,较胖的被调查对象比体重正常者每周约少睡1.8小时。该研究报告指出,“许多美国人经历着睡眠不足和身体肥胖,临床医生很清楚肥胖给病人带来的负担。”
CHICAGO (Reuters) -- A study published Monday found that people who sleep less tend to be fat, and experts say it is time to establish if more sleep will fight obesity. "We've put so much emphasis on diet and exercise that we've failed to recognize the value of good sleep," said Fred Turek, a physician at Northwestern University here. "In fact society emphasizes just the opposite," he added -- in workplaces such as law firms where billed hours are crucial and long work days are common.
Monday's study from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk covered 1,000 people and found that total sleep time decreased as body mass index (a measure of weight based on height) increased. Men slept an average of 27 minutes less than women; overweight and obese patients slept less than patients with normal weights. In general the fatter subjects slept about 1.8 hours a week less than those with normal weights. "Americans experience insufficient sleep and corpulent bodies. Clinicians are aware of the burden of obesity on patients," the study said.
