Pete Bils shares why sleep is as important as nutrition and exercise
When you talk about weight loss and healthy living, most people focus on one of two things–their diet and their physical activity. But there is increasing evidence that there is a third pillar in the health equation that is often neglected by the vast majority of our hustle-and-bustle population–SLEEP! Who knows better about getting high-quality sleep than a bedding company representative to talk about this issue and that’s exactly what we have in store for you today.
In Episode 177 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we hear from the Senior Director of Sleep Innovation and Clinical Research and a Chair on the Select Comfort Sleep Advisory Board Pete Bils who talks about the compelling new research that has come out about sleep, weight loss, and health. Select Comfort is the company that created the Sleep Number bed that you’ve probably heard advertised on the radio or television, so Pete is certainly a highly-qualified expert to speak about this important subject. He provides some invaluable tips about how to improve your sleeping environment for getting the best quantity and quality of sleep in today’s interview.
