The Dangers of the "Eat and Sleep" Behavior Our digestive processes normally begin in our mouth by breaking down carbohydrates into sugars. (digested by saliva) protein is digested in the stomach Then some of the digested food is sent to the small intestine. which will digest both carbohydrates (in the form of sugar) digests proteins and digests fats. Nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine. (The process of digestion ends in the small intestine.) The waste food is sent to the large intestine and the remaining nutrients are absorbed from the small intestine.
It takes about 2-3 hours for the body to complete the digestion process and the digestive system works well when we are sitting or standing. because all organs in the system are in line with the body which will digest food by conveying from top to bottom But whenever we finish eating and sleep during the digestive system has not finished working. Organs are placed horizontally along the body instead. resulting in various problems Followed, which may be more dangerous than we thought. will warn you that the dangers are what
1. Indigestion, flatulence
The behavior of eating and going to bed immediately causes the digestive system to work inefficiently. Because the digestive system takes the time to digest each type of food is not the same. When the food is not completely digested, it will be left over. It accumulates and then reacts to form gas in the stomach. Cause colic, abdominal distension, flatulence, when there is flatulence, it makes us uncomfortable. This will interfere with the efficiency of sleep.
2. Acid Reflux
when we eat The body secretes gastric juice to digest the food we have just eaten. Imagine that the body normally digests food by transporting it from top to bottom. But if we finish eating, we lie down. Instead, the organs are horizontal, so the secreted gastric juice flows back up into the esophagus. In some cases, it may go back up to the neck area. irritation Because gastric juice is acidic. causing a burning sensation in the middle of the chest Congestion in the stomach, bitter in the throat, sour burp. The acid reflux that if this is what it is Yes, it's easy to treat. therefore affecting daily life They also have a chance to develop esophageal cancer. or cerebrovascular disease
3. Can't sleep
It is a symptom of indigestion or gastroesophageal reflux disease. When we feel that the stomach is upset, indigestion or heartburn. It will cause stomach discomfort and discomfort, so it interferes with sleep, sleep, wake up, which will cause us to not sleep fully or have insomnia. As a result, we do not get enough rest. Every system in the body will work in turbulence. Then there will be other dangers. from sleeping less
4. Risk of Stroke or Esophageal Cancer
cerebrovascular disease It is a risk condition that results from chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease and dyspepsia. This is because the digestive process has a direct effect on blood pressure. blood sugar and cholesterol levels When the digestive system doesn't work as well as it should Absorption of nutrients will be a problem. and affect blood pressure and the treatment of sugar and cholesterol levels Affects the circulatory system
When the circulatory system has problems This makes it harder for the blood to carry nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. Cerebral ischemia or hypoxia may occur. Shortness of breath, palpitations, sleep apnea which is a warning sign of a stroke
esophageal cancer It is a risk condition that results from gastroesophageal reflux disease. If there are chronic symptoms from gastric juice flowing back into the esophagus Irritation and chronic inflammation If left for a long time There is a chance that it becomes esophageal cancer.
5. Obesity
As we all know, obesity is caused by our taking in more energy from food than our bodies need. At the same time, there is a lack of exercise. when the body does not use the energy The energy will be accumulated to become fat. Especially people who like to eat foods that are high in energy. The body will accumulate more fat. which eating and sleeping makes the body almost not move at all therefore the energy consumed is not consumed. making it fatter They are also at risk of developing abdominal obesity.
