What are the dangers of skipping dinner

Nowadays, many people choose not to eat dinner at night for work, study or weight loss. This can save time and reduce body intake. In fact, this practice is very unhealthy and irresponsible to your own body. Energy is also needed at night. If you don’t eat, your stomach will be empty and stomach acid will corrode the gastric mucosa. In the long run, it will cause stomach diseases or even stomach cancer. In addition to this, what are the dangers of not eating at night?

1. Skipping dinner affects work and study efficiency

Moreover, modern people work and study until very late. When I was in high school, I studied until after 9 o'clock in the evening. Could I bear not having dinner? Although it is advocated that students should reduce their burden, the academic pressure is still very high. Office workers must have experienced overtime work. Many people work overtime until 8 or 9 o'clock or even 11 or 12 o'clock. If you don't replenish energy for 8 or 9 hours after lunch, even the strongest body can't bear it. Not only that, but also people who work night shifts must have dinner.

2. Skipping dinner affects sleep

When the human body works overtime or entertains itself at night, it will naturally feel hungry due to energy consumption. The digestive system will automatically become active, sending a signal to the brain "requesting to eat". If you insist on not eating to replenish energy at this time, you will suffer from insomnia at night, because the nerves are always excited. Even if you are not active when you sleep, the brain is still active, and the body cannot get a normal rest. The body will feel very tired the next day, and your work and study efficiency will be lower.

3. Skipping dinner hurts your stomach

Another point is that after working overtime or having fun at night, hunger will promote the secretion of gastric acid in the stomach. If you don't eat, the gastric acid will corrode the gastric mucosa. In the long run, gastric ulcers, gastritis, and even gastric cancer may develop. You can only regret it at that time. Some time ago, I heard on the Internet that a girl worked overtime and didn't eat at night for a long time. She got an acute gastric ulcer and couldn't be saved in the end~

4. Skipping dinner can cause stomach problems

By the way, if girls who are losing weight do not eat or eat very little for a long time, it may cause thickening of the gastric mucosa, indigestion and insufficient gastric motility, and may also develop into gastritis or even gastric cancer. The chance of gastric disease developing into gastric cancer is relatively higher.
