"Professor Zhang, you won't believe it, there are some lifestyle habits that can really have a profound impact on our lung health."
In the nut section of the supermarket, Dr. Lin patted Professor Zhao on the shoulder, interrupting his concentration on picking almonds.
Professor Zhao, a physics professor, was attracted by Dr. Lin's topic and turned around in a little surprise.
Dr. Lam is an old friend of his, and the two have not seen each other for several years, and today's chance meeting is a special surprise to Professor Zhao.
"Dr. Lin, when you say this today, have you discovered any new research?" Professor Zhao asked with a smile, the almond bag in his hand clicking.
Dr. Lin nodded, and the two chatted about the topic as they walked towards the cash register.
"You know what? Recent studies have shown that chronic sleep deprivation not only affects our mental state, but is more likely to increase the risk of lung cancer.
As bizarre as it sounds, the numbers don't lie. ”
Professor Chiu listened to Dr. Lam's explanation and pondered the science behind this.
Dr Lim continued, "In fact, the link between lung cancer and sleep is not a new topic in the scientific community, but the latest research has found that the quality, duration and onset of sleep are all closely related to lung health. ”
"What's going on?" Professor Zhao asked curiously.
Dr. Lim explains in detail three common sleep mistakes and their possible impact on lung health.
First of all, staying up late to sleep can interfere with the normal functioning of the body's endocrine system, especially affecting the repair process of lung tissue.
He mentioned a case of a middle-aged man who often stayed up late and unfortunately developed lung cancer due to the constant disruption of his biological clock, which led to a decrease in his immunity and weakened cell repair ability.
The second mistake is sleeping too little.
Dr Lim points out that adults need at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day to ensure the proper functioning of the immune system.
He cites a study that followed the 10-year cycle and found that people who didn't get enough sleep had 20 percent more lung cancer than those who slept regularly.
Finally, irregular sleep patterns are also a big no-no.
Dr Lim explained that the human biological clock is very sensitive to light, and irregular sleep patterns can disrupt the hormone balance in the body, affecting the production and repair of cells, thereby increasing the risk of disease.
Professor Zhao listened attentively, and he had no idea that these seemingly simple lifestyle habits could have such a profound impact on lung health.
Dr Lim continued, "Actually, one of the measures to prevent lung cancer is to maintain good sleep habits.
By improving sleep quality and ensuring adequate sleep time, we can greatly reduce the risk of disease. ”
The two of them checked out and left the supermarket, and Professor Zhao's mind was completely carried away by this conversation.
When they parted, Dr. Lin also joked: "Professor, you bought today's nuts for better mental work, but don't forget, good sleep is also a guarantee of mental and physical health." ”
This chance encounter gave Professor Zhao a deeper understanding of health, and also made him realize that science does not only exist in the laboratory, it is in our daily lives, and every small change may affect the trajectory of our lives.
Considering the accelerated pace of modern life, how to scientifically adjust sleep time to adapt to the fast-paced life without compromising lung health?
To answer this question, we first need to recognize that everyone's biological clock and sleep needs are different.
To adjust sleep scientifically, the first thing to do is to ensure that you get at least 7 to 8 hours of high-quality sleep every day.
Second, go to bed and wake up at a fixed time each day as much as possible to help the body establish a stable biological clock, which can improve the quality of sleep.
In addition, avoid using electronic devices with too bright light before bedtime to reduce disturbance to the hormonal system.
Through these scientific methods, we can effectively protect lung health and reduce the risk of lung cancer, even in a fast-paced life.
