Q: Is it okay to sacrifice breakfast in order to sleep ten more minutes in the morning?

Keywords: gallstones, hypoglycemia

A: After a night's sleep, the body's blood sugar concentration is at a low level. If energy is not replenished in time, it is very easy to experience symptoms of hypoglycemia such as dizziness, sweating, and black eyes. In addition, more than 90% of patients with gallstones do not eat breakfast.

Q: My colleague has a cold. Can I prevent infection by drinking a glass of vitamin C effervescent water?

Keywords: influenza

A: Vitamin tablets do have the effect of improving the body's immunity. However, we still need to work harder to improve our immunity during the flu season. When there is a source of infection in the office, it is necessary to maintain air circulation to reduce the concentration of germs in the unit space.

Q: For lunch, I eat spicy hot pot near the company or takeaway duck vermicelli soup. Is it nutritious and helps lose weight?

Keywords: carcinogenic

A: Lunch provides 40% of the energy a person consumes throughout the day. Bento boxes, rice balls, spicy hot pot, and vermicelli soup are not sufficient to meet the needs of the human body, either in terms of quality or quantity. Especially for spicy hot pot and vermicelli soup, the "old soup" that has been boiling for several hours seems to have a strong flavor, but the content of "nitrite", a carcinogenic ingredient, is incredible.

Q: Can giving myself a beauty meal after a meal and taking oral collagen delay aging?

Keywords: collagen

A: Supplementing with additional collagen products can help to replace the collagen lost by the skin, but it must be taken long-term to be effective. Some topical skin care products claim that they can remove wrinkles with collagen, which is indeed an exaggeration. Collagen is a large molecular protein and it is difficult for it to pass through the surface of the skin, let alone reach the dermis.

Q: It’s not time to go to bed yet, but I’m hungry. Can I sleep better if I have a midnight snack?

Keywords: Gastrointestinal diseases

A: People who often eat late-night snacks are at high risk of gastrointestinal diseases. When people have a midnight snack, they often eat too much food. These foods stay in the stomach for a long time, promoting the secretion of a large amount of gastric juice, irritating the gastric mucosa and forming ulcers. It not only makes you gain weight easily but also causes endocrine disorders.
