Modern people’s work and lifestyle tend to be diversified, and the “nine to five” working mode can no longer completely summarize the working state of modern people. Young white-collar workers, night shift drivers, 24-hour convenience store employees, freelancers… More and more people have joined the ranks of “night shift people”. Experts point out that behaviors that run counter to natural laws often have potential harm to human health.
First of all, the liver is afraid of staying up late. There is enough evidence that staying up late for a long time will affect the function of the immune system. The physical examination report for the working population who need to take the night shift also shows that the proportion of abnormal liver function is higher than that of ordinary people.
Adults usually go to sleep before 23:00, and enter a deep sleep state at 1 to 3:00 in the morning. This time is the best time for the liver to detoxify and nourish liver blood. On the contrary, the immune capacity of the body will decline, and the resistance will also decline. If the liver blood is insufficient, the skin will lose its nourishment, dry, inelastic and dull. If combined with endocrine disorders, the skin (especially the skin of young people) will be prone to acne, acne, chloasma, black spots and other problems. In particular, those “night shift workers” who work in writing or operate computers often have symptoms such as dry eyes, red eyes or pain. The root cause is lack of Yin blood, loss of support for the eyes, plus deficiency of Yin in the liver and kidney, inflammation due to deficiency of fire, and long-term eye fatigue.
This kind of yin deficiency and fire excess is closely related to the common endocrine disorders, immune changes, gastrointestinal dysfunction and so on caused by staying up late.
In addition, “night shift people” often have headache, dizziness, memory decline, low spirits, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, insomnia and dreams.
Therefore, the health problems of “night shift people” cannot be ignored. It has been reported that irregular staying up late is more harmful to health than regular “night shift workers”. Especially for those white-collar workers who sleep late intermittently (irregularly), frequent adjustment of the biological clock will cause worse damage to their bodies. In addition, people who stay up late for a long time are more likely to suffer from cancer, because cancerous cells are produced in cell division, and cell division is mostly carried out in sleep. Staying up late will disturb the sleep pattern, affect the normal division of cells, and lead to cell mutation and cancer cells.
Traditional Chinese medicine has more advantages than western medicine in adjusting the body state and improving symptoms of “night shift people”. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the integration of the human body and the natural law, and the pursuit of the physiological balance of the human body and the theory of “communication” are one of its important cores. Let’s take Yangxue Qingnao Granule (produced by Tianshili Pharmaceutical Group), a Chinese patent medicine consistent with the general syndrome type of “night shift people”, as an example. This group of prescriptions is based on the classic ancient prescription “Siwu Decoction” and is combined with seven medicines with the functions of calming the liver and latent Yang, activating blood circulation and unblocking collaterals, dredging meridians and relieving pain. It can not only nourish yin and blood, nourish liver and kidney yin deficiency, but also suppress inflammation caused by deficiency of fire, promote blood circulation and relieve pain. Therefore, it can be used for headache, dizziness, dizziness, insomnia, dreaminess, irritability, memory loss and other symptoms caused by blood deficiency and liver hyperactivity. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, it is more in line with the syndrome type of “night shift people”.
Through the analysis of more than 100 modern medical research documents, it can be fully confirmed that Yangxueqingnao Granule not only has the effects of improving cerebral blood flow, inhibiting vasospasm, improving hemodynamics, but also has the effects of antioxidation, anti-inflammatory, regulating neurotransmitters, protecting the integrity of neural cell structure and function, so as to show the multi-link, multi-level and multi-target pharmacological action mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine. Combined with the clinical safety of natural botanical drugs, it highlights its application value, which can adjust the physical condition of “night shift people” from a variety of angles and improve various symptoms.
At the same time, I suggest friends of “night shift” to try to adjust their own life rules. When staying up late, you can also supplement more foods containing vitamin C and B vitamins. For “night shift people”, we must not ignore health. Defending our own health is the most important thing in life.
