As the weather gets warmer, all kinds of food stalls in the streets will soon return to our lives, and more and more people will eat supper outdoors. However, recently, the media reported some incidents that caused physical discomfort after eating supper, reminding everyone to pay attention to their health while satisfying their appetite.
After dinner, I lost sleep.
Mr. Wang is a salesman of a sales company in Wuhan, Hubei. He runs around during the day and often plays until midnight at night. Then he found a stall for dinner, filled his stomach and went home to sleep. Over time, Mr. Wang developed symptoms such as "insomnia at night, dizziness during the day, and poor appetite", but he could not be diagnosed in the hospital.
Mr. Wang's symptoms have something to do with frequent supper. According to relevant data, eating too much supper, or eating too much fried food, meat and other foods with high protein and cholesterol content in supper will cause symptoms such as indigestion and dysfunction. Therefore, eating supper is not as simple as we thought, and eating casually is likely to be harmful to health.
Eating at night is easier to get fat.
Eating supper regularly is the most harmful to the human stomach. The life span of human gastric mucosal epithelial cells is very short, with an average of 2-3 days, usually at night. If you often eat supper, the gastrointestinal tract will not get the necessary rest, and the repair of gastric mucosa will not be carried out smoothly. Moreover, the food eaten late at night stays in the stomach for a long time, which will promote the secretion of gastric juice and stimulate the gastric mucosa. Over time, it is easy to cause gastric mucosal erosion and ulcer.
In addition, few people eat supper, and often a group of people talk while eating. If they are not careful, they will eat too much. Overeating supper can cause bloating, oppress the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestine and other organs, activate the brain, make it difficult for people to fall asleep, thus inducing insomnia. Because there is little activity in the evening, and a rich supper contains a lot of fat, protein and carbohydrates, which will be synthesized without consumption. At night, the "fat synthase" that helps them get fat is eight times more active than during the day, making it easier to synthesize fat. These fats accumulate in the abdomen and under the skin, which will cause obesity; If it enters the liver, it will form fatty liver; When it enters the pancreas, it will cause insulin secretion disorder, which will lead to an increase in blood sugar.
In the state of staying up late for a long time to eat supper, human immunity will also decline, and symptoms of autonomic nervous disorders such as colds, gastrointestinal infections and allergies will also come unexpectedly.
Never eat more meat, eggs, etc.
Midnight snack is unnecessary for most people, but for the elderly who eat less and eat more meals and office workers who often stay up late, they can eat some in moderation and replenish energy in time. Generally speaking, we should choose light, soft and digestible food for dinner, such as wonton, porridge, noodles and snacks. Or drink a glass of milk and eat a fruit. Avoid foods with high fat content, because it takes too long to digest and absorb fat, which is not easy to make people feel full and often leads to overeating.
In addition, some foods are not suitable for supper. First of all, high-protein foods such as meat and eggs, because they are not easy to digest and absorb, are easy to stay in the intestine, deteriorate to produce toxins such as ammonia, indole and hydrogen sulfide, stimulate the intestinal wall and induce cancer. Secondly, fried, barbecued and fried foods, such as fried peanuts and mutton skewers, will have adverse effects on gastric mucosa. Third, sweets are taboo for dinner. They will not only bring obesity problems, but also consume B vitamins in the human body, resulting in nutritional imbalance. In addition, drinking a lot of coffee and strong tea at midnight will stimulate sympathetic nerves and easily cause autonomic nervous disorder of internal organs.
