Gwyneth Paltrow has heralded clean sleeping as the next big trend for 2017 saying that getting enough quality sleep is as important as watching your diet for your overall health and wellbeing. The 44-year-old Hollywood actress said that sleeping between eight and ten hours per day can positively affect your appetite and energy levels.

 

She said: “The lifestyle I lead is based not just on clean eating, but also on clean sleeping: at least seven or eight hours of good, quality sleep — and ideally even ten.”

 

She added that to be healthy, clean sleeping should be the main priority.

 

“Sleep plays such a powerful role in determining your appetite and energy levels that I believe it should be your first priority — even before you think about your diet.”

 

She then explained: My nutrition expert Dr Frank Lipman has explained to me that poor-quality sleep can be unsettling for the metabolism and hormones, which can lead to weight gain, bad moods, impaired memory and brain fog, as well as serious health concerns such as inflammation and reduced immunity (which can increase your risk of chronic disease). And it goes without saying that poor sleep is terrible from a beauty perspective.
