1, affecting gastrointestinal digestive function.
Like the brain, people's gastrointestinal tract needs a certain rest time at night. If they eat supper, there is enough food in their stomachs, and the gastrointestinal tract is still in working condition when they sleep at night. Especially, many supper foods are spicy, greasy and irritating, which is extremely harmful to the gastrointestinal tract and easy to reduce digestive function.
2, causing obesity
Some people eat less during the day and eat more at midnight. This kind of people are prone to obesity, mainly because there is little human activity and energy consumption during sleep, and a lot of energy in food will be converted into fat to accumulate in the body, resulting in obesity.
3, increase the risk of stones
The peak of calcium excretion is usually 4 ~ 5 hours after eating. If you eat dinner too late, when the peak of calcium excretion comes, people have gone to bed and fallen asleep, and urine will remain in the urinary tract such as ureter, bladder, urethra, etc., which will not be excreted in time, resulting in the continuous increase of calcium in urine and easy deposition to form small crystals. Over time, it will gradually expand to form stones.
4. Induce cancer
When you eat supper, you often eat a lot of high-protein foods such as meat, eggs and milk. If protein is ingested too much, it will stay in the intestine if it can't be absorbed, and it will deteriorate to produce toxins such as ammonia, indole and hydrogen sulfide, which will stimulate the intestinal wall and induce cancer.
5. Elevated cholesterol
If you eat high-fat and high-protein food at midnight snack, it is easy to make the blood lipid in the human body suddenly rise. Human blood tends to maintain a high fat content at night. Eating too much at night, or eating frequently and repeatedly, will lead to a significant increase in blood cholesterol synthesized by the liver and stimulate the liver to produce more low-density lipoprotein, which is one of the incentives for atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and impotence.
6, insomnia
Eating too much at midnight will make your stomach swell and oppress the surrounding organs. After meals, the intense work of the stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other organs will send messages to the brain, which will make the brain active and spread to other parts of the cerebral cortex, causing insomnia.
7, induce diabetes
Long-term overeating and staying up late will repeatedly stimulate islets and increase insulin secretion. Over time, it will lead to the decline of β cells secreting insulin, or even the decline in advance, leading to diabetes.
8. What food is good for dinner?
1, almond
Almond is not only rich in nutrients such as protein and vitamins, but also contains tryptophan and magnesium, which is a good medicine to relax muscles, just like honey. Regular diet helps to relieve anxiety and sleep. At the same time, almonds are also good for heart health and can help you "clean" your intestines.
Step 2: bananas
Bananas are actually "sleeping pills" wrapped in the peel, which are rich in serotonin and N- acetyl -5- methoxytryptamine, as well as magnesium that can relax muscles.
3. Hot milk
It has long been known that drinking a cup of warm milk before going to bed is helpful to sleep, because milk contains tryptophan, which can play a calming role like amino acids. And calcium can help the brain make full use of this tryptophan. Putting mild milk in the bottle will bring you a warm feeling of returning to childhood and gently tell you "relax, everything is fine".
4. Chrysanthemum tea
Chrysanthemum tea is the first choice for preparing tea drinks before going to bed, mainly because it has a soft sleep effect and is the best natural prescription for calming the nerves.
5. honey
A large amount of sugar has an exciting effect, but a small amount of glucose can stimulate the brain to secrete orexin (phenyldihydroquinazoline), which is a newly discovered neurotransmitter related to thinking response. So a few drops of honey in warm milk or vanilla tea can also help you relax before going to bed.
6.potatoes
A small piece of baked potato won't damage your gastrointestinal tract. On the contrary, it can remove acidic compounds that prevent tryptophan from playing a hypnotic role. If you mix warm milk to make mashed potatoes, the effect will be better!
7. Whole wheat bread
A piece of toast, with tea and honey, can help the human body release an insulin, which enables tryptophan to reach the human brain, where it is converted into serotonin. It's like someone whispering "it's time for bed" in their ear.
8, oatmeal
Oat is a valuable bedtime snack, which is rich in N- acetyl -5- methoxytryptamine. Cook a small bowl of cereal and stir with a little honey. Try to chew hard, which is enough to fill your cavities. At the same time, oatmeal can induce melatonin and a small bowl can promote sleep. If you chew oatmeal in large quantities, the effect will be better.
9.yogurt
In addition to eliminating fatigue, fermented yogurt will be easier to absorb and help clean the stomach.
10, vinegar
If people are in a state of tension for a long time, the body will produce a lot of lactic acid, which will lead to tension and fatigue. Acetic acid can not only inhibit the production of lactic acid, but also accelerate the oxidation of lactic acid, eliminate or reduce tension and fatigue, and make people fall asleep easily.
