How can I reduce my sugar intake? Nutrition experts in the United States: Extended sleep.

The secret to reducing cravings for sugary foods is to get a good night's sleep, according to US media. A new small study in the UK suggests that may be the case.
's not surprising that sleepless nights can be exhausting, grumpy and upset, according to a January 9 report on the American Fun Science website. But according to the study, published January 9 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, losing at least seven hours of sleep a night recommended by health care professionals is also associated with many health problems, such as obesity and cardiovascular metabolic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
study, researchers recruited 21 people for a 45-minute sleep consultation to extend their sleep by up to an hour and a half a night. The other group of 21 participants did not have sleep interventions and became a control group.
participants were asked to record seven days of sleep and diet patterns. During this time, participants also wore motion sensors on their wrists to determine how much time they actually slept each night and spent in bed before actually falling asleep.
study showed that participants who sleeped more each night reduced their sugar intake by as much as 10 grams. The study found that the participants also consumed less carbohydrate per day than the group that did not sleep longer.
Wendy Hall, author of the study and a senior lecturer in the Department of Diabetes and Nutrition at King's College London, said in a statement: "The fact that prolonged sleep reduces sugar intake suggests that simple lifestyle changes may actually help people eat healthier. What we mean by sugar intake refers to the sugars that are added to food in the manufacture of goods or in home cooking, as well as the sugars contained in honey, syrup and fruit juices. "
