Second, pay attention to rest
If you often stay up late, working overtime will cause harm to the lungs, because the lungs need to detoxify between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m., if you stay up late often during this period of time, toxins will accumulate in the lungs for a long time, and over time, the lungs will have problems.
Therefore, try not to stay up late, develop a reasonable work and rest time, go to bed early and get up early, which is not only conducive to lung health, but also conducive to physical health.
