In the New York Daily News today it has been reported that a series of billboards illustrating the fattening effects of the beloved dairy product are dotting the highways of upstate New York. Drivers can get close fat dimpled thighs with the words, “Your Thighs on Cheese.” Others get an eyeful of a big belly with “Your Abs on Cheese.”
Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), are the group behind the scare tactics in order to get Americans to cut the cheese! Well in this case it might be true, after all it was reported that each American ate 32.4 pounds of cheese a year!
However, as I have mentioned before the real reason why many of us may be overweight has nothing to do with chocolate and cheese, but lack of sleep! Researchers at Birmingham Heartlands Hospital claim that people who sleep for less than seven hours a night are more likely to be overweight.
The study has revealed we need to tuck into those sleep-boosting foods. Foods rich in tryptophan, such as nuts, beans, fish, CHEESE and eggs which contain essential amino acids for the human diet, these foods eaten during the day, will help you sleep better at night.
So, my question to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is – how any hours does each American spend watching TV or playing video games rather than sleeping or taking exercise!
