RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Does life have you STRESSED OUT? If so, you’re likely to sleep less/eat more, which affects your thyroid, a gland that produces hormones which regulate metabolism (how fast you burn calories). If your thyroid’s not producing enough hormones it can slow your metabolism, leading to weight gain, depression and fatigue. Take a 10-15min break for yourself daily to breathe, relax, and clear your mind, to keep thyroid and metabolism humming at optimal levels.
