On August 6, the 31st Summer Olympic Games was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Although there is a time difference of 11 hours between Beijing time and Rio de Janeiro time, many people have spared no effort to stay up late to watch the live games and cheer for China’s Olympic athletes. However, staying up late is very harmful to your health. In this issue, the life times reporter interviewed Shi Ming, deputy director of Shanghai TCM insomnia Medical Cooperation Center, and gave us advice on how to minimize the harm of staying up late.
1. These types of people can’t stay up late Shi Ming reminds us that it is not suitable for everyone to stay up late to watch the game. Some people with poor physical health, such as people with poor sleep quality, people over 40 years old, people who are overweight (BMI index over 28), people with high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, stomach diseases, etc., should not stay up late to watch the game. They should maintain normal work and rest time. If they want to watch the game, they should watch the replay of the game during the day, Otherwise, it may aggravate relevant conditions or induce accidents.
2. Stop staying up in time when you find an alarm even strong people should not stay up late to watch the game every day. They must adjust according to their physical conditions. If you don’t feel obvious discomfort during the day, you can stay up late at night. However, when the body has some violent symptoms, such as dizziness, dizziness, palpitation, chest tightness, restlessness and other obvious uncomfortable symptoms during the day, you should rest early at night and don’t stay up late.
3. Go to bed before staying up late it is recommended to sleep for 1-2 hours before staying up late. Even if you can’t sleep, you should lie in bed with your eyes closed to refresh yourself, which can also play a role in rest. As staying up late will damage the digestive system of the human body, it is recommended that you should not eat spicy and fried foods or less for dinner before staying up late, and eat light food and more vegetables to avoid burden on the intestines and stomach.
4. Replenish water and vitamins when watching the game, many people like to eat barbecue and drink beer, which will increase the burden on their bodies. Shi Ming said that staying up late will take away a lot of water from the human body. Everyone should pay attention to replenishing water when watching the live broadcast of the game, and pay attention to drinking a little mung bean soup, Lily tremella soup, or cucumber, tomato, apple, etc. at any time to replenish the vitamins needed by the body.
