Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps prevent both obesity and insomnia. Precisely, it is worth highlighting that there is a simple habit that has the ability to avoid obesity and combat sleep-related disorders. It is about exercise or physical activity.

Mayo Clinic, an international clinical research institute, notes that “exercise can help prevent excessive weight gain (which can lead to obesity) or help maintain weight loss. When you do physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you will burn.”
