Its the standard for staying up all night watching football

Stay up late for long periods of time

Irregular eating and living habits

Put a big burden on the stomach and intestines

Staying up late to watch football increases gastrointestinal stress

Xiao Gang, Vice President of Hainan Cancer Hospital and Hainan Chengmei Hospital, domestic well-known gastrointestinal expert, said that the gastrointestinal impact of staying up late to watch football matches can not be underestimated. Firstly, staying up late will disrupt the bodys biological clock, causing the normal peristaltic rhythm of the gastrointestinal tract to be broken. Normally, the stomach and intestines go into a state of rest at night, reducing digestive activity. However, staying up late to watch football not only breaks this rule, but is often accompanied by a large number of snacks and drinks intake, further aggravating the burden on the stomach and intestines.

"When staying up late to watch football matches, many people like to eat snacks with high oil and salt, drink carbonated beverages or alcoholic beverages, all of which can stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to an increase in the secretion of gastric acid, triggering symptoms such as stomach pain, bloating and acid reflux." Professor Xiao explained.

Staying up late to watch football predisposes to gastrointestinal problems and hazards

Professor Xiao Gang pointed out that common gastrointestinal problems associated with staying up late watching football include stomach pain, gastritis, gastric ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome. If left unattended, prolonged gastrointestinal distress may develop into a more serious condition.

"Especially for some people who have gastrointestinal disorders themselves, staying up late and not eating regularly can aggravate the condition. For example, patients with chronic gastritis may feel burning and pain in their stomachs after staying up late, while patients with ulcers may experience severe pain or even bleeding." Professor Xiao reminded.

Euro to be watched, gut to be protected too

In order for fans to enjoy the passion of the European Cup and protect their gastrointestinal health at the same time, Professor Xiao Gang gave the following advice:

01

Reasonable arrangement of work and rest

Try to avoid staying up late for long periods of time, rest as soon as possible after watching important games, and keep a regular schedule.

02

Make healthy food choices

Try to choose healthy snacks such as fruits and nuts when watching football and reduce the intake of high oil and salt foods. Avoid large amounts of carbonated drinks and alcohol and opt for warm water or light tea.

03

Do proper exercise

After staying up late to watch a game, you can do some light exercise, such as walking or stretching, to help gastrointestinal motility and promote digestion.

04

Focus on gastrointestinal distress

If persistent gastrointestinal discomfort occurs, seek medical attention to avoid worsening of the condition.

The passion of the European Cup football league is indispensable,

But health is even the cornerstone of our life.

Hope all fans can enjoy this football feast

Find a balance between passion and health,

And enjoy every exciting moment.
