Corporate life has taken away the peace of mind of the day and night. People are working day and night amidst the hectic lifestyle. Working in shifts is a compulsion for every corporate worker. There are some services like medical, call centers where one has to work 24 hours. There are some people who work night shifts throughout the year. But do you know that night shifts have a very bad effect on your health?
Actually, recently a research has come out which shows that women working in night shifts are at a higher risk of breast cancer. Because night is meant for sleeping. In such a situation, if you work all night, it has a huge impact on your health. With increasing age, it starts having a dangerous effect on health.
A lump begins to form in the breast
According to the JAMA Journal, women working in night shifts are 3 times more at risk of breast cancer than other women. According to this research, cancer cells start forming due to problems in the 24-hour body clock. Cancerous lumps start forming in the body.
Why does not sleeping at night increase the risk of cancer?
According to a report published in TV9, according to radiation oncologist Dr. Sudarshan Dey, women working in night shifts are at a very high risk of cancer. In this, first of all, the level of melatonin starts increasing in the body. This is a kind of hormone which is formed by sleeping at night, but if a person does not sleep at night, then it is not formed inside them. Which later causes cancer. Because this hormone works to prevent cancer in the body. Because of this, cancer cells are not formed in the body. Also, this hormone also involves genes in the development of tumors. Therefore, it is very important for every person to sleep at night. But when you stay awake at night, its formation is hindered and later the risk of cancer increases.
smoking too much
Waking up at night and smoking also increases the risk of cancer. That is why people often do not like to work in night shifts. They smoke at night so that they do not fall asleep. Excessive smoking leads to the growth of cancer cells in the body. Smoking greatly increases the risk of cancer.
