Will staying up late and not eating make you fat?

As people’s work pressure increases, if many people need to stay up late, some people who like nightlife will inevitably have to stay up late as well. Many people have the perception that if they stay up late and don't eat, they won't gain weight, but this is actually a wrong idea.

2. A comprehensive review of the disadvantages of staying up late

Yin deficiency and excessive fire: People who often stay up late have their bodies running in an overloaded state for a long time, and are prone to various functional disorders in the body. You should know that in traditional Chinese medicine, there is a difference between the sun and the moon. The day is yang and the night is yin. If you want your body to be balanced, the yin and yang must be coordinated. People who often stay up late have a reversed day and night structure, which consumes yin energy over a long period of time and can easily lead to yin deficiency and excessive fire.

Skin damage: The skin of people who stay up late for a long time cannot maintain and repair itself at night, which can easily cause the skin to be damaged for a long time without time to repair. In addition, people who often stay up late can easily damage the endocrine system and nervous system of the body, making the skin look dull and dry, and also causing acne and blackheads.

Decreased vision: People who often stay up late are prone to decreased vision. This is because the eyes are used for a long time and do not get enough rest at night, which can easily lead to eye problems such as dry eyes and eye pain. Prolonged use of the eyes will also keep the eye muscles in a state of tension and fatigue for a long time, which will lead to decreased vision. Severe cases can also lead to central retinitis.

Decreased memory: The sympathetic nerves of people who often stay up late are also in an excited state at night. During the normally excited daytime, the sympathetic nerves cannot be excited normally. This can easily make people who stay up late feel lack of energy, memory loss, lack of concentration and other symptoms the next day. If this continues for a long time, it can also lead to neurotic insomnia and neurasthenia.

Decreased resistance: Due to staying up late frequently, people can easily feel listless and exhausted. The normal body metabolism and immune system fail to repair themselves at night, which causes disorders in various body functions. The body lacks the necessary resistance to external viruses and bacteria, and it is easy to develop respiratory, gastrointestinal and other diseases.

Staying up late can easily cause eye fatigue, vision loss, and physical exhaustion. After staying up late, you can eat more foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin B, such as carrots, liver, lean meat, milk and dairy products, eggs, etc. You can also drink chrysanthemum tea, wolfberry tea, etc. to clear the liver and improve eyesight.
