What harm does eating in the middle of the night have to the human body?

Easy to get stones: the peak of calcium excretion is generally 4-5 hours after meals. If you eat supper too late, when the peak of calcium excretion comes, people have gone to bed and fallen asleep, and urine will remain in the urinary tract such as ureter, bladder and urethra, which can not be excreted in time, resulting in an increase in calcium in urine and easy deposition to form small crystals. Over time, it will gradually expand to form stones.

Fatty liver is easy to get: if you eat too much protein at midnight, you will stay in the intestine if you can't absorb it, and it will deteriorate to produce toxins such as ammonia, indole and hydrogen sulfide, which will stimulate the intestinal wall and induce cancer. Coupled with drinking, it is easier to become attached to "alcoholic fatty liver". Easy to get diabetes: eating too much at night will lead to a significant increase in blood cholesterol synthesized by the liver and stimulate the liver to produce more low-density lipoprotein. Carrying too much cholesterol to the arterial wall (including penile artery) has also become one of the causes of atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and impotence. At the same time, due to long-term overeating at midnight snack, it will repeatedly stimulate islets and increase insulin secretion. Over time, it will cause the function of insulin-secreting cells to decline, or even decline in advance, resulting in diabetes.

Induce insomnia: Overeating and supper will make the stomach swell and oppress the surrounding organs. After meals, the intense work of the stomach, intestine, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and other organs will send information to the brain, which will make the brain active and spread to other parts of the cerebral cortex, thus inducing insomnia.
