Will staying up late make people fat? What are the harms?

Today's nightlife is becoming more and more abundant, but while it makes things convenient and enjoyable for everyone, it also brings about a series of health problems, among which staying up late is the most common one. Some friends find that they have gained a lot of weight after staying up late for a long time. Is this reaction related to staying up late? Will staying up late cause other harms? The editor will talk about it below.

Staying up late will affect the operation of the human body's biological clock, and the metabolism will become abnormal, which will affect the rate at which the body consumes calories. Therefore, if you stay up late frequently, your metabolic rate will decrease, which will lead to a physique that is prone to obesity and difficult to lose weight. Moreover, when you sleep, your body secretes an endocrine hormone called "leptin". If you stay up late or don't sleep well, it will affect the secretion of leptin, making it difficult to lose weight. In addition, it is easy to feel hungry when staying up late, so you go to eat a bowl of noodles or some snacks as a midnight snack, but at night the body's digestion and absorption are vigorous but the energy metabolism is very small, so it is easy to gain weight.

Staying up late can also cause other harms, such as skin damage. The skin enters the maintenance state at 10-11 pm. Staying up late for a long time will cause the endocrine and nervous systems to become disordered, making the skin dry, inelastic, dull and lifeless, and causing problems such as acne, blackheads and dark spots. The sympathetic nerves of those who stay up late remain excited at night, and during the day they will feel listless, dizzy, have memory loss, lack of concentration, and slow reaction. Over time, problems such as neurasthenia and insomnia may occur. People who keep "day and night reversed" for a long time will not only have a bad temper, but their internal organs will not be adjusted in time, which increases the risk of heart disease.

Therefore, the adverse effects of staying up late are not only making the body gain weight, but also threatening one's health. Here the editor would like to strongly advise everyone to change the bad habit of staying up late or even all night as soon as possible. It is best to go to bed before 11 o'clock at night to minimize the damage to your body.
