In our lives, more and more people are forced to work at night for long periods of time because of work needs. Long-term night work not only affects our biological clocks but also increases the risk of diabetes and obesity!
First, how does long-term night work affect weight and increase the risk of obesity? The main reasons are the following:
(1) Biological clock disorders: Long-term night shifts can disrupt the hormonal demolition, affect the quality of sleep and lead to disruption of the biological clock. This irregularity affects body weight by disequilibria between metabolism and hormones.
(2) Over-ingestion of night care: During night work, people often choose to eat night care to supplement their energy. However, if food choices are ignored, over-ingestion of high-calorie food can lead to excess heat and obese obesity.
(3) Lack of exercise: night-timers tend to sit long hours at work and lack exercise. After working hours, tired and tired people just want to rest and sleep, leading to reduced energy consumption and increased body weight.
(4) Inequitable energy consumption: Night-nighters sleep during the day and work at night, and this rhythm of life makes energy consumption uneven over time. When working at night, the body should be in a state of relaxation and rest, but at that time it is in a state of work that leads to increased energy consumption, which is relatively low in the daytime sleep.
In order to reduce the health risks associated with night work, night workers are advised to take some preventive measures. First, to keep as regular a time as possible to ensure adequate sleep. Second, we should rationalize our diets, choose healthy food as much as possible and avoid high sugar and fat fast foods. Finally, a modest amount of movement is also important to help improve metabolic and weight control.
In short, long-term night work does increase the risk of diabetes and obesity. Understanding these risks and taking appropriate preventive measures can help night workers better manage their health.
