Everyone knows that "staying up late hurts the body"
Especially late at night, the stomach and intestines feel more empty
It is even more entangled in whether it should come to a supper
Eat supper and stay up late hungry
Which is more harmful?
Is there any solution to hunger at night?
01
What are the dangers of supper?
In fact, everyone knows that eating supper in the middle of the night is not a good thing for health, but what are the specific harms?
01
Causes obesity
The body's biological clock leads to a large demand for food during the day, and the body's metabolism will be much faster. At night, the body's biological clock slowly approaches a restful state, and the demand for food and the speed of metabolism will decline.
Therefore, if you add food or eat supper in the middle of the night, the energy cannot be used, and the body can only help you save, and the most likely cause is obesity.
02
Causes stomach problems
When it comes to eating, we have to mention the effect on the stomach. As the main digestive organ of the human body, the stomach is the same as other organs, and it will need to rest in the middle of the night to repair itself. Eating often in the middle of the night undoubtedly increases the burden on the stomach and easily causes stomach diseases.
03
Increased cholesterol
Although what to eat at supper varies from person to person, for most people, choosing foods with high fat, high salt and high protein will account for a relatively large proportion. The intake of such foods will lead to a sudden increase in blood lipids in the body, and blood cholesterol will also increase significantly, which will trigger the liver to produce more LDL.
Low-density lipoprotein, also known as "bad protein", is the cause of the body's coronary heart disease, cerebral infarction and other diseases.
04
Induces insomnia
Eating supper has the most direct impact on the stomach and intestines, but it will also indirectly affect other internal organs of the body, and the body cannot really rest, resulting in increased excitement of the brain, so that all parts of the body can not enter the sleep state. This can easily lead to insomnia problems.
Of course, there are also some people who may not lose sleep because they have eaten supper, because they are generally young and have strong digestive function. But in this case, as age increases, the symptoms of insomnia will become obvious after eating.
05
Other diseases
Eating too much food at night in addition to its own body is not good, but also because of the rich variety of supper food, eating is generally more mixed, so a lot of nutrients even if ingested, it is difficult to be digested and absorbed.
Studies have found that if you eat a lot of eggs, meat, milk and other high-protein foods at night, then the calcium in the urine will increase, which may lead to urinary tract stones in the body.
02
Should I eat when I stay up late and am hungry?
On the question of whether to stay up late and eat, in fact, the biggest harm to the body is to stay up late, and eating or not eating is secondary. Therefore, as long as you stay up late to do other things, the impact on the body is definitely not small, and the damage is irreversible.
However, many people stay up late because they work overtime, and some of them work late, and they are really hungry and want to eat some supper. So how to eat it is reasonable?
03
How should I eat supper?
A reasonable supper should meet the following criteria:
01
Low fat, less energy, high nutritional value;
02
Easy to digest, does not add a burden to the stomach and intestines;
03
There is a certain feeling of fullness;
04
Do not affect falling asleep afterwards after use.
After reading this, you may not have any specific ideas, so let's put it another way:
The ingredients are relatively low in protein and fat, which is easier to digest and will not bring burden to the stomach. Eat less oil and less salt at night, and it is best not to fry and fry this kind.
If you want not to cause a burden on sleep, it is best to choose foods with large water and carbohydrates, and threonine, tryptophan, and foods containing calcium in protein will help stabilize nerves and emotions.
Combining these factors, if you really need to eat at night, the following are the more recommended suppers.
You can eat fruit for supper, but it is not recommended to eat only fruit. Because when you are very hungry, you will find that the more you eat, the more you have an appetite. However, it is good to accompany other foods, or to order it when you are not very hungry, which can make hunger come later.
Although the supper recommended above is easy to digest, it is not recommended to go to bed immediately after eating. This is not conducive to the stomach and sleep. It is best to eat supper 1 to 2 hours before going to bed, if you are suddenly hungry before going to bed, you can eat a small amount of food. This will not be so hungry that you can't sleep, and you won't make the stomach work too hard.
