Modern men are very busy at work, often facing high workloads, and they choose to work overtime and stay up late to complete their work. Some male friends have a quite rich nightlife and would gather together for late-night snacks after staying up late. However, male friends should avoid eating too many sweet foods after staying up late, why is that? Let’s understand together.
Why shouldn’t men eat too many sweet foods after staying up late?
Male friends should avoid sweets after staying up late. Eating too many sweet foods for dinner or after staying up late can make the body more fatigued, leading to symptoms like overall weakness and dizziness because the body is already weak after staying up late. In such a situation, eating sweet foods will burden the stomach, deplete a large amount of B-group vitamins, and lead to fatigue. Therefore, male friends should avoid eating too many sweet foods for dinner and after staying up late.
So what should men eat after staying up late?
1. Eat more vegetables
After staying up late, male friends should maintain a light diet and eat plenty of fresh vegetables such as radishes, greens, winter melon, celery, as well as some carrots and pig liver, which can benefit the liver and eyes. They should consume fewer refined grains, and opt for more fish to replenish protein. It’s best to avoid BBQ and hot pot if prone to internal heat.
2. Drink a glass of milk or yogurt
After staying up late, men are prone to calcium loss, which can be accelerated during insomnia, leading to calcium deficiency. Therefore, it’s advisable to drink some milk or yogurt after staying up late to replenish calcium. Consuming some millet congee and corn porridge can support stomach health and overall well-being, helping the body recover and promoting better sleep to stabilize the mind.
3. Drink plain water
Staying up late consumes energy, vitality, and stamina. Hence, it’s crucial to drink plenty of water during late hours to replenish fluids in the body. Failure to hydrate may cause fatigue and headaches. Drinking water timely can restore energy, vitality, and stamina.
4. Avoid spicy foods
Many people enjoy gathering to eat spicy foods and drink beer after staying up late, which may seem colorful but can burden the stomach and liver. The digestive system and kidneys are already working during late hours, consuming spicy foods exacerbates the damage, potentially leading to health issues. Therefore, it’s advisable to avoid hot pot, BBQ, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption after staying up late.
Qujing Jiuzhou Hospital kindly reminds: After staying up late, male friends should pay attention to diet, eat more vegetables, or have a glass of warm milk to replenish essential micronutrients, proteins, and vitamins. Additionally, drinking plain water to replenish energy is recommended. Smoking, excessive alcohol, and spicy foods should be avoided to prevent sleep disturbances and potential harm to the body.
