Sleep is essential for us, and the amount and quality of sleep are directly related to our health. Generally, adults sleep for 7 to 8 hours a day. If adults remain awake for 15 to 16 hours, it can lead to fatigue, clumsiness, slow reactions, daytime sleepiness, and other symptoms. Over time, it can lead to decreased immunity, and even induce cancer, The prostate cancer most feared by male compatriots is also related to sleep time and quality.
Sleep problem is a major health problem for modern people. Poor sleep will lead to a variety of diseases. Less sleep time for women will increase the risk of breast cancer, while men will increase the risk of prostate cancer.
Effects of melatonin on health
What is the cause of prostate cancer? The main culprit is a decrease in melatonin secretion. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland of the brain and only secretes a certain amount under dark conditions. Therefore, melatonin is also known as "dark hormone". Melatonin is secreted most in the early morning or so, and decreases after the early morning, and then gradually decreases over time. Therefore, as the sunlight and indoor light increase after dawn, it is easy for people to wake up.
Melatonin is a guarantee of sleep quality, so low levels of melatonin can lead to poor sleep treatment, which can lead to a decline in immunity. In addition, in vitro studies have found that melatonin can also inhibit or inhibit the growth of cancer cells, so if you sleep poorly, you will have less melatonin secretion, which cannot effectively inhibit cancer cells, and prostate cancer will develop.
Poor sleep predisposes to prostate cancer
Experimental statistics show that men with sleep problems have lower levels of melatonin than men without sleep problems, and a decrease in melatonin levels can lead to cancer, so men with sleep disorders have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer.
Turning off the light to sleep can effectively maintain the content of melatonin in the body. To better ensure sleep, it is necessary to first have a regular routine. Only when the biological clock is aligned can the body function healthily. Secondly, pay attention to avoiding excessive exposure to televisions, computer screens, lights, and other indoor lighting at night.
"The prostate is very important to men, and it is also a delicate organ. Many problems can be traced to it, so we need to take better care of it.". Now the incidence rate of prostate cancer is increasing, which has seriously harmed the health of men, and has become one of the most concerned areas of tumor researchers. How to explore effective anti tumor drugs, reduce cancer recurrence and metastasis, and improve the quality of life of patients with prostate cancer is currently one of the research hotspots.
With the rapid development of modern Chinese medicine, some traditional Chinese medicines have gradually played an important role in the treatment of prostate cancer, among which "Cordyceps sinensis" is the object of intense research. It is believed to be a good medicine that can cure all diseases
