Does working night shift make women age faster?

For female friends, seeing themselves getting older is a very scary thing, especially when they start to grow old at a time that is not appropriate for their age group. Due to the nature of their work, some people's working hours are reversed from day to night, so some women need to work night shifts while at work. Night is a period of metabolism, so will women who work night shifts for a long time age?

A study by American scientists shows that a life without distinction between day and night will lead to hormonal imbalance in women, and the cancer rate of women who work night shifts for a long time is 1.5 times that of women who work day shifts.

Researchers at Harvard University in the United States pointed out that regularly working night shifts can increase the risk of disease by 50%. The more night shifts you work, the higher your risk of illness. Among them, long-term exposure to artificial light is one of the causes of the disease.

Scientists point out that working at night can easily cause sagging and aging of the skin, and can also easily lead to heart disease, fatigue, depression and other cancers. The study also showed that in terms of mortality, the damage caused to the human body by long-term night shifts is equivalent to the harm caused by smoking 20 cigarettes a day.

Female friends, if you want to be healthy and beautiful, don’t stay up late.

Many friends say that they have to stay up late only when they have no choice. But if you really have to, there are some tricks.

1. Try to sleep between 11am and 3am so you can get up early to work

2. If you want to sleep late, you should pay attention to the nutrition of dinner and drink more water.

3. Take some nutritional supplements

4. Pay attention to getting enough sleep after staying up late, and taking a nap during the day is also beneficial

This is just a remedy. The best way is to go to bed early and get enough sleep.

Women who work night shifts for a long time are more likely to develop breast cancer. People who need to work night shifts or stay up late often find it difficult to ensure their sleep quality, which can easily lead to a series of mental and physical symptoms. If women stay up late or suffer from insomnia for a long time, it will change the body's original biological clock, thereby causing disruption to the body's life rhythm.

This disorder will lead to a series of endocrine dysfunctions, which in turn will affect women's ovulation cycle. Once the ovulation cycle is disrupted, irregular menstruation may occur, which will lead to an imbalance in progesterone secretion. Some common tumors in women, such as uterine fibroids, endometrial lesions, and breast lesions, are closely related to abnormal secretion of estrogen and progesterone.

In addition, working night shifts or staying up late will increase women's risk of breast cancer. There are many studies related to circadian rhythm and breast cancer, and the conclusions are almost unanimous that long-term disruption of rhythm will increase the risk of breast cancer. After the normal rhythm is disrupted, regular night shifts are relatively better than irregular night shifts. However, the relationship between light exposure and breast cancer development is also a long-standing research topic.
