We often think that sleeping is the best way to keep fit, but a recent study by the American Cancer Society said: the more you sleep, the sooner you die. Let's take a look now.
Recently, a research report from the American Cancer Society pointed out that "the more you sleep, the sooner you die". According to the report, they surveyed 900000 people without heart disease and found that people who slept an average of 10 hours a day were twice as likely to have a heart attack as those who slept seven hours a day, and the mortality rate was 3.5 times higher.
Is it really "the more you sleep, the sooner you die"? What is the unknown relationship between sleep and health? Interviewed sleep experts from Shuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of traditional Chinese medicine.
The American Cancer Society believes that keeping the body asleep for a long time will have adverse effects on the heart and lungs. During sleep, the blood circulation of the human body will be weakened, and blood circulation disorders are easy to appear in blood vessels and brain.
Jiang Haiping, deputy chief physician of insomnia specialty of Shuguang Hospital, told that for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and those with respiratory function decline, sleeping too much will indeed increase the risk of inducing related diseases.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sleep is a process in which the Qi of yin and Yang in the human body conforms to the rise and fall of yin and Yang in nature day and night, and hides in and out of each other. Too much sleep will lead to the failure of Yang Qi in the human body to rise in time. For a long time, this will lead to the decline of human defense function, dizziness, heavy head, fatigue, shortness of breath, limb pain, easy to catch a cold and a series of symptoms.
But Jiang Haiping also reminded that the relationship between sleep and health cannot be understood one sidedly. A person's health status and life span cannot be judged simply by the length of sleep.
The more you sleep, the sooner you die. This statement does not apply to everyone. In fact, sleeping too little and too much is not conducive to human health. Proper sleep is the best for your body and health!
