Improve Sleep Quality

A perfect diet and a consistent daily movement training routine are all for nothing if you have poor sleep. When you fall into deep REM sleep your body starts releasing powerful fat-burning growth factors that heal your body including rebuilding muscle, connective tissue, and skin cells.
