1. Decreased gastric mucosal defense
A study in the United States shows that people who often stay up late have 3 to 4 times the incidence of stomach problems compared to the general population!The reason for this is because people who often stay up late lack TFF protein in their stomachs.
TFF protein is a gelatinous mucus substance secreted by the stomach, which reduces the damage of hard substances to the gastric mucosa by forming a mucous membrane on the gastric mucosa, and its weak alkaline properties can also prevent the corrosion of gastric mucosa by gastric acid.
Research data show that the secretion of TFF protein during nighttime sleep is equivalent to 20 to 30 times that of a daytime secretion. Staying up late will reduce the secretion of TFF protein, weaken the protective effect on the gastric mucosa, and over time, diseases such as gastritis, gastric ulcer and even stomach cancer will naturally come to the door.
02 Obstruction of gastric mucosal self-repair
Another bad eating Xi for people who stay up late is to be overfilled. Eating "late-night supper" is a great vitality for those who stay up late**, but "late-night supper" before going to bed can have a bad effect on the stomach. Human gastric mucosal epithelial cells have a short lifespan and need to be renewed every few days. This process is generally performed at night when the gastrointestinal tract is resting.
If you eat regularly at night, the gastrointestinal tract does not get the necessary rest, and the repair of the gastric mucosa cannot proceed normally. Moreover, when sleeping at night, after eating supper, it is easy for gastric juice to flow back into the esophagus or even the throat and trachea, and gastroesophageal reflux disease and gastropharyngeal reflux disease will occur over time. In addition, regular eating will continuously promote the secretion of gastric juice and gastric acid, causing damage to the gastric mucosa, which can easily lead to gastric mucosal erosion or even ulcers.
