Nutritionist Explains After Effects of Sleep Deprivation

A nutritionist named Pooja Makhija explained on Instagram what happens to your body when you don't get enough sleep.

She said that if you sleep for only 3-5 hours, your body goes into a stress mode to cope with the exhaustion.

Your brain might take very short naps without you realizing it.

Your body produces more cortisol, which can lead to belly fat and cravings.

Your digestion slows down, and you might lose less fat and more muscle.

You might also feel more emotional, and your immune system gets weaker.

Pooja advises everyone to prioritize rest to avoid these negative effects.
