EtherealEagle+FollowWhy Sleep Matters More Than You ThinkThink eating well is enough to dodge diabetes? Turns out, sleep is just as crucial. A recent study tracked nearly half a million people for over a decade. The results? Those who slept less than five hours a night had a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes—even if their diet was packed with fruits and veggies. Healthy eating helps, but it can’t fully offset the effects of chronic sleep deprivation. Researchers found that skimping on sleep puts your body at risk, no matter how clean your plate is. Bottom line: Prioritize getting enough rest. Your sleep habits might be just as important as your food choices when it comes to long-term health. #SleepHealth #DiabetesPrevention #HealthyHabits #Health #Wellness200Share
