What is the reason for liver pain from staying up late

Staying up late will have an impact on the liver, because long-term staying up late will increase the burden on the liver, so it will cause pain. In the face of this problem, the most important thing is to pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late to work overtime, watching TV and playing games, and pay attention to nutritional supplements.

1. It is understood that although the liver is the largest detoxification organ in the human body, if you often stay up late, the liver will be overwhelmed and cause a series of diseases. Zhang Wei said that staying up late often not only leads to insufficient sleep and decreased body resistance, but also affects the liver's self-repair at night. Especially for those who have already been infected with the hepatitis virus, staying up late will aggravate the condition.

2. It is reported that from 11 pm to 2 am every day, according to the meridian circulation theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver and gallbladder meridians have the most qi and blood. This is the best time to nourish the liver and blood, and it is also the time for the liver to begin detoxification. However, liver detoxification needs to take place during deep sleep. Staying up late prevents the liver from excreting toxins, resulting in the inability to generate fresh blood. Over time, the liver will not get enough blood, and the already damaged liver cells will be difficult to repair and will instead worsen, causing great harm to the body. Over time, not only will your skin become rough, you will easily become tired, exhausted, have a bitter taste in the mouth and dry throat, and have irritability, but your liver's detoxification function will also be damaged, causing the toxin content in the blood to greatly increase. Studies have shown that liver blood flow decreases by 40% in an upright position and by 80-85% during exercise. Therefore, the liver has a more abundant blood supply when the body is lying flat.

3. In addition, people who often stay up late secrete higher levels of hormones such as adrenaline than ordinary people. This will increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, affect the normal functioning of the liver and kidneys, induce a series of uncomfortable symptoms, and even aggravate the original condition of hepatitis patients, affecting their future recovery.

4. It is recommended that people who sleep late should try to adjust their work and rest time. It is best to fall asleep before 11 o'clock every night. This can allow the liver to detoxify effectively and is beneficial to the health of the body. If you cannot avoid staying up late for a long time, you can also take the approach of jet lag and rest at corresponding times during the day and at night. For example, if you stay up until 1 a.m. the next day, you can make up for it with a nap until 1 p.m. that day. In addition, those who stay up late should pay special attention to nutritional supplements and eat more foods rich in B vitamins and protein for dinner, such as whole grains, liver, lean meat, beans, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
