How should the elderly who work at night maintain their health?
People who often work at night shifts should keep a happy mood. People's habit of working during the day and resting at night is gradually formed in long-term life. Working at night reverses this rule. At first, they were not used to it. After a period of time, they will gradually form new laws. Working and sleeping according to the rules will generally not affect your health.

First, diet:

1, "night shift" should add some nutritious and delicious meals to the meal arrangement, and eat more foods rich in animal protein and plant protein, such as lean meat, fish and shrimp, eggs, bean products and vegetables.

2, night shift work is easy to cause visual fatigue, therefore, night shift staff should pay attention to supplement foods containing more vitamin A, such as animal liver, egg yolk, roe and so on. Vegetables, soybeans, tomatoes, carrots and red peppers contain more carotene, which can also be converted into vitamin A in the body. You can eat more appropriately.

B, rest:

1, create a good rest environment, keep the room quiet and cool, and pull down the curtains to reduce the light transmittance.

2. Generally sleep well between 6- 12 in the morning. It is best to take a bath before going to bed, or wash your feet with warm water, and don't drink strong tea, coffee and other beverages that stimulate the cerebral cortex.

Don't rotate too frequently between day shift and night shift. After the day shift is changed to night shift, the change of biological clock needs an adaptation process. If it is changed too frequently, the newly established time conditioned reflex will be destroyed, which is not conducive to rest and health.

4. "Night shift" has many activities at night, and the temperature difference between day and night in autumn and winter is large. Pay attention to cold and warmth, especially after work in the morning, when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, add clothes in time to prevent colds from causing other diseases.

More and more people are used to staying up late. Even for some people, staying up late has become a part of their lifestyle. But from a health point of view, staying up late is still harmful.
