Young people who stay up late and eat midnight snacks are more likely to get stomach cancer

Young people are more susceptible to gastric cancer, which is closely related to their living and working habits. The most common point is that young people like to stay up late, and when they stay up late, they naturally develop the habit of eating late-night snacks frequently, which is actually very harmful.

Why does eating late-night snacks frequently easily lead to stomach cancer?

First, the life span of gastric mucosal epithelial cells is very short. They need to be renewed every 2 to 3 days. This regeneration and repair process usually takes place at night when the gastrointestinal tract is resting. If you often eat at night, the gastrointestinal tract will not get the necessary rest, and the repair of its mucosa will not be able to proceed smoothly.

Second, when you sleep at night, the midnight snack stays in the stomach for a long time, which can promote the secretion of gastric juice and irritate the gastric mucosa. Over time, it can easily lead to erosion and ulcers of the gastric mucosa, and weakened resistance. If the food contains carcinogens, such as often eating fried, barbecued, pan-fried, and cured foods, it will stay in the stomach for a long time, which is more likely to cause adverse effects on the mucosa, and then lead to gastric cancer.

Third, in addition to smoking and drinking, some bad habits have also become the cause of stomach cancer in young people. In order to rush, they eat too fast or eat too much, which often increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. There are also young people who like to eat hot pot and spicy hot pot, which also creates conditions for the occurrence of stomach cancer. Irregular life, full meals, often skipping breakfast, sometimes overeating, often driving at night, irregular life, it is easy to induce stomach cancer.

Therefore, it is recommended that if you have stomach discomfort, you should go to a regular hospital for special examinations as soon as possible. This is the most effective way to detect gastric cancer in its early stages. Once diagnosed with gastric cancer, you should go to a regular hospital with the ability to treat it as soon as possible. This is the key to curing gastric cancer.
