In recent years, the prevalence of thyroid disease has been increasing year by year. Many migrant workers spend their daytime commuting and going to work, so they will stay up late at night to find their own time. Or stay up late to work overtime and study, and gradually overdraft your body, and inadvertently suffer from thyroid disease.
The thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in the body. Thyroid hormones can promote metabolism, promote growth and development, and improve the excitability of the central nervous system.
For the thyroid gland, staying up late often will cause endocrine hormone levels to be out of balance, and resistance and immunity will decrease. Once the level of endocrine hormones is imbalanced, it can cause various thyroid diseases such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and thyroid nodules.
If you want to prevent thyroid disease, you need not only a regular routine, but also:
Avoid overwork, negative emotions, overwork, and mental stress can disrupt the nervous and endocrine systems, causing immune dysfunction, and causing the thyroid gland to be attacked by the immune system. It is recommended to pay attention to the combination of work and rest, ensure adequate sleep, and learn to adjust your mood.
