Aunt Liu is 50 years old this year, and her figure has been relatively serious in the past two years. So Aunt Liu chose to adjust her diet and eat more celery to lose weight.
Because celery is a favorite food for people who lose weight in addition to broccoli. However, Aunt Liu found that although her weight was slowly declining, she was getting up more and more at night, and her sleep quality was getting worse and worse. After the doctor's examination, it was found that the reason for the aggravation of Aunt Liu's insomnia turned out to be eating too much celery. Mainly because of the diuretic effect of celery, Aunt Liu frequently wakes up at night.
I believe that many people have experienced insomnia, and long-term insomnia will cause a lot of harm to the human body, especially in the following aspects.
First, the harm of insomnia
Under normal circumstances, long-term insomnia will cause human endocrine disorders, accelerate aging, etc., the specific analysis is as follows:
First, endocrine disorders occur
Sleep is an important part of the body's physiological cycle, and normal sleep can promote the secretion and regulation of endocrine hormones. If you don't get enough sleep for a long time, the body's hormone secretion may be disordered, which will cause human endocrine disorders.
Endocrine disorders can cause patients to have symptoms such as dark complexion, acne, and short temper. Among them, gynecological endocrine diseases are the most common, such as chaotic menstrual cycle, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, ovarian cysts.
Some facial spots can also be caused by gynecological conditions, especially in people with ovarian cysts. Ovarian cysts are caused by excessive secretion of androgens in the body due to endocrine abnormalities. However, excessive male hormones will cause sebaceous glands to secrete vigorously, and skin diseases such as oily skin and pigmentation will occur.
In daily life, ensuring enough sleep can effectively improve the condition of endocrine disorders. Secondly, the melatonin of the accelerated aging body usually peaks at night, and if it is not enough sleep for a long time, it will cause insufficient melatonin synthesis, which in turn leads to skin pigmentation, which over time will make the skin lose its luster and accelerate aging.
The above is the harm of insomnia, there are many factors that affect insomnia, of which diet is one of them, especially the following 5 foods will aggravate insomnia symptoms, doctors remind: these foods should be eaten as little as possible.
Second, people who do not sleep well, try to eat less of these five foods
1. Chocolate
People who don't sleep well should eat as little chocolate as possible, mainly because chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, two foods that promote the excitement of the human brain. Especially eating chocolate before going to bed is likely to affect sleep due to excessive excitement.
2. Fatty meat
Nowadays, many people have a less healthy diet and like to eat a lot of greasy food at night. Especially in summer evenings, more and more people eat barbecue. As everyone knows, eating too much fat at night will affect sleep.
Mainly because excessive intake of fatty meat at night is not conducive to gastrointestinal digestion, it is easy to aggravate the burden on the stomach. Therefore, it is best not to consume excessive fatty meat at night.
3. Celery
Celery is rich in dietary fiber, which helps promote metabolism and reduce fat accumulation. It is a very good food for people who lose weight, but it should be noted that celery can not be eaten excessively, because celery has a diuretic effect, and eating more celery will affect nighttime sleep. Especially for people with poor sleep quality, it is necessary to control the amount of celery income.
4. Chili pepper
Studies have found that eating chili peppers can enhance people's appetite. Although eating chili peppers can improve appetite, it should also be noted that eating spicy foods often stimulates the human nervous system, resulting in over-excitement at night and affecting sleep. Especially for people with a weak stomach, it is not recommended to eat more peppers, because it will stimulate the intestines, and it is likely to have symptoms such as flatulence and pantothenic acid.
5. Garlic
Garlic is a stimulating food, if excessive intake of garlic before going to bed, it is easy to irritate the intestines and stomach wall, easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea may occur, which may interfere with sleep.
For people with poor sleep quality, the above 5 foods must be controlled well. In addition, you can improve the quality of sleep in the following ways.
Third, improve sleep methods
The easiest way to improve sleep is to stick to soaking your feet. Studies have found that people who insist on soaking their feet will fall asleep significantly faster than people who do not soak their feet. The time for soaking your feet should not exceed 30 minutes, it is best to control it between 15-20 minutes.
Do not use overheated water, keep the water temperature between 35-40 degrees. In addition, there are many medicine bags on the market now, and you must consult a doctor when choosing a medicine bag to soak your feet to avoid adverse reactions.
