Women who work night shifts for a long time are prone to cancer. The risk of cancer increased by 50% and the risk of breast cancer increased by 48%. The main reason for this situation is that I have long loved artificial light.
In addition, for people engaged in dangerous work, frequent shifts will cause inattention, which will lead to work accidents.
Due to the change of biological clock (day and night cycle) in the body, night shift personnel often can't sleep, eat badly, feel weak and depressed. How can such people use their brains in food arrangement to improve food quality and ensure their health?
Nutrition experts suggest: first of all, the total amount of food should be enough. Nutritionists believe that the most important thing for reasonable nutrition is to meet the demand for total calories, so besides breakfast, lunch and dinner, you need to eat a midnight snack.
Secondly, pay attention to the deployment of diet varieties and patterns. Because of poor appetite at night, we should eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins and some light and delicious foods, not greasy, and strive to achieve more varieties, new patterns, full of color and flavor to stimulate appetite.
Third, supply more foods rich in vitamin A, night shift is easy to make people tired, and vitamin A participates in regulating the synthesis of rhodopsin, which can improve the adaptability of human body to dim light. Vitamin A mostly exists in animal foods, especially in animal livers, followed by egg yolk, fish eggs and milk. In addition, the demand for vitamins B and C for night shift work has also increased, so it should be supplemented appropriately.
Finally, we should improve the quality of protein. It is best that animal protein can account for half, because there are 8 kinds of amino groups necessary for human body in animal protein. In real life, many people work in shifts because of their work needs. Recently, a study conducted by Danish researchers shows that shift work is more harmful to women's health than men's. Experts from the World Health Organization have been studying the relationship between working hours and people's health. They think that shift work is easy to destroy the hormone secretion activity of human body, which will have a negative impact on health. On the basis of the above research, Danish researchers further conducted a comparative study on the health problems of different genders engaged in shift work, and found that shift work is more harmful to women's health.
Danish researchers invited about 8000 volunteers of different sexes to participate in the study. After long-term observation of the work and health status of the above volunteers, the researchers found that people who work in normal classes maintain the best health status, while many people who work in shifts encounter the problem of declining health status during the observation period, and most of them are women.
According to Danish researchers, women are more likely to get sick among people who work in shifts; Their weight is more prone to imbalance. In addition, compared with men, more women who work in shifts apply for early retirement due to health problems. Researchers say that changing working hours often will affect people's sleep quality, and in the case of lack of sleep, people's endocrine system will be seriously disordered, and endocrine disorders will easily lead to gynecological diseases including breast cancer. In addition, shift work is very unfavorable to the physical development of pregnant women's fetuses, which may lead to low birth weight, so shift work poses a greater threat to women's health.
The researchers added that in addition to their physical characteristics, it is not easy for women to work in shifts, and the role women play in the family is not conducive to their jobs that often change their working hours. In most families, women take on more housework. If women continue to engage in various housework activities at home after shift, their physical strength and energy are absolutely unbearable.
