What do you do before going to bed that seems right, but is actually harmful to your health?

The 28-year-old Xiao Wang went back to the dormitory after studying at night every day. After washing, he lay down and read for a while, but at this time, he was already hungry. So Xiao Wang developed the habit of eating fruit before going to bed. Whether it's cantaloupe, durian or other fruits, he finally wants to eat something before going to bed.

During this period of school physical examination, Xiao Wang found that his total cholesterol was as high as 9.8 and triglyceride was as high as 5.7. He was really shocked. I didn't know it was caused by eating fruit before going to bed until I asked the doctor. No wonder his brain, which should be awake after getting up every morning, is always groggy, and he is particularly prone to drowsiness during the day.

It is good to eat more fruits, but there are different kinds of fruits.

Different kinds of fruits contain different fructose, potassium and saturated fat. Patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia may get worse if they eat the wrong fruit. Hyperlipidemia eats durian coconut. Although high-fiber foods such as fruits and vegetables are good choices for people with high cholesterol, some high-fat fruits need to be cautious, including durian and coconut. These fruits, like butter and lard, contain a lot of saturated fatty acids, which will also increase total cholesterol and? Bad cholesterol? Content, leading to hyperlipidemia and vascular embolism.

What are the health risks of eating before bed?

It is best not to eat anything before going to bed, including fruit.

Before going to bed, the stomach is close to an empty stomach. Because fruit contains a lot of fructose and glucose, it is easy to convert into fat in large quantities, thus gaining weight and even affecting blood lipids. On the other hand, eating fruit on an empty stomach will lead to the loss of nutrients in fruit.

For teeth, it is also a health hazard. Eating fruit after brushing your teeth before going to bed at night is not recommended. But after brushing your teeth in the morning and at noon, you can still eat if you want.

Fruit contains less sugar, and the overall sugar content is relatively large, so the consequence is dental caries. In particular, fructose in fruits is easily absorbed by the surface of teeth. Under the condition of proper oral temperature, given enough time, acid substances will be produced under the action of acid-producing bacteria, which will invade teeth and form dental cavities after long-term action.

Acid-producing bacteria are mostly anaerobic bacteria, but they are normal flora in the mouth, so as long as you meet the above conditions and give acid-producing bacteria acid-producing conditions, your teeth will be corroded, but to different degrees.
