Recently, a netizen shared her infection experience on a short video platform
↓
She said that on the third day of infection
her symptoms were almost better
She only had slight nasal congestion and sore throat
But in order to deal with the work that had accumulated in the past few days
she stayed up late
Unexpectedly, she stayed up late the next day
The fever started again
and all the symptoms came again
She warned netizens in the video
"After getting positive
you still need to take a good rest within a week
Don’t take it lightly because of the temporary improvement.
Give the virus a chance to counterattack.
So, will staying up late really worsen the condition?
Beware of this "high-risk" habit

Experts pointed out:
When the weather first turns cloudy, life and work The pace of work must be slowed down.
Don’t stay up late.
President of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Liu Qingquan pointed out in an interview with CCTV that turning negative for the new coronavirus does not mean the end of the battle with the virus. After turning negative, the body enters a relatively fragile period. The pace of life and work must be slowed down. Don’t stay up late.
Research has shown:
Staying up late increases the probability of hospitalization by 466% after infection
According to Life Times , a new study recently pointed out that people who often stay up late are 466% more likely to be hospitalized after becoming infected.
This study published in the American journal "Chronobiology International" by University of Bergen, Norway, and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, China, shows that often stays up late and works night shifts. Although it does not increase the risk of contracting COVID-19, the risk of severe illness after becoming "yang" is significantly increased.
The study analyzed 7,141 participants from four continents and 15 countries, including China (Hong Kong), the United States, Brazil, France, Germany, etc., of which a total of 1,134 people were infected with the new crown.
The results found that among shift/night shift workers, the new crown infection rate was 22.5%, which was slightly higher than regular day workers (17.0%) and non-scheduled day workers (17.3%).
Once infected, shift/night shift workers are at a higher risk of developing moderate or even critical illness, and are more likely to have symptoms for more than 8 weeks after infection.
Specifically, compared with participants who worked regular day jobs, shift/night workers had a 171% increased risk of developing mild to moderate or critical illness, and a significantly increased 466% chance of requiring hospitalization.
researchers explained that this is mainly because circadian rhythm disorders have a huge impact on the immune system . This study also reminds you from the side: should not stay up late after being infected with the new crown.
In addition to paying attention to rest, you should also pay attention to your diet.
Do not eat these things immediately after "Yangkang".

After the new coronavirus infection initially recovers, the body still needs a lot of nutrients to ensure the energy supply of the immune system. Doctors suggest that special attention should be paid to supplementing nutrients and fluids, and increasing energy intake, such as eating eggs, drinking milk, and supplementing with protein powder, vitamin C, etc., to improve immunity and fight against viruses.
Doctors remind
Don’t take food supplements too hastily!
During the infection and recovery period, there may be loss of appetite, diarrhea, bloating, and reduced sense of taste and smell. However, during the recovery period, you must not take large amounts of supplements, because the spleen and stomach are relatively weak during illness. Taking large amounts of supplements will not only be detrimental to the body's recovery, but will increase the burden on the body.
Liu Qingquan, director of Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that the recovery period refers to the 7 to 10 days after the nucleic acid test result turns negative. During the recovery period, you should not take large amounts of supplements, nor should you eat or drink excessively. This is also detrimental to the recovery of the body, and may even cause "eating relapse", that is, eating incorrectly can lead to the recurrence of the disease, such as symptoms of fever. Especially teenagers who are eager to eat fried, spicy, barbecued and other foods are more likely to suffer from "eating relapse".
Experts suggest that during the "Yang Kang" period, you should not eat or drink too much, especially greasy, fatty, sweet, and flavourful foods. Eat three regular meals, eat light and balanced nutrition, and ensure that you have grains, high-quality protein foods, fruits and vegetables every day to help restore physical strength. It is not recommended to choose greasy, spicy, pickled and other heavy-flavored foods as an appetizer. For some elderly people who have poor appetite, they can eat more nutritious and easy-to-digest foods during the recovery period.
What should I eat after "Yangkang"?
Strengthen protein intake
How to eat scientifically during the "Yangkang" period? "Nutritional management must be implemented throughout the entire process of infection prevention and treatment." Director of the Clinical Nutrition Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Yu Kang, said that after infection, people's appetite will weaken, resulting in symptoms such as bitter taste in the mouth, reduced digestive ability, etc., making it difficult to supplement nutrition according to usual eating habits. Yu Kang suggested that firstly, eat small amounts frequently to try to achieve your usual food intake; secondly, try to choose easily digestible foods to ensure a variety of food types.
Symptoms have improved and appetite has recovered. At this time, you can choose yogurt, egg custard, noodles, noodles with minced meat, fish, tofu, etc. to slowly increase your energy and protein intake. Nutritional supplementation during the recovery period must be prudent. Food during the recovery period should also be fine and soft, and meals should be chewed slowly. After a period of recovery, you will slowly return to your normal diet.
In the early stages of recovery, if you have a poor appetite, it is recommended to eat small meals frequently. You can eat a small portion of nuts, milk, yogurt, fruit, etc. at 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning or 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon to help ensure adequate physical strength and nutritional intake. At the same time, you should also be careful not to overeat after your appetite is restored, and drink and snacks should be moderate.
Yu Kang suggested that the elderly should try to diversify their daily diet and maintain a mix of meat and vegetables. On the basis of a normal diet, they can consider supplementing with some nutritional supplements, such as protein powder, vitamin and mineral complexes, etc., to help maintain the body's resistance.
