Yourwellness Magazine Follows Up New Diet and Fatigue Study

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 3 June 2013

According to a new, small study, scheduled for presentation in June at the Associated Professional Sleep Societies annual meeting in Baltimore, the foods people eat may affect their level of sleepiness or alertness during the day. This is based on data from 31 healthy, non-obese people, aged 18 to 65, who were normal sleepers. The researchers assessed their daytime sleepiness/alertness levels, as well as the meals they ate.

In an American Academy of Sleep Medicine news release, principal investigator Dr. Alexandros Vgontzas, a professor of psychiatry at the Penn State College of Medicine, commented, Increased fat consumption has an acute adverse effect on alertness of otherwise healthy, non-obese adults. He added, Excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue are very prevalent in the modern world and on the rise. It appears that a diet high in fat decreases alertness acutely, and this may have an impact on an individual's ability to function and also public safety.
