What to do if long-term lack of sleep leads to systemic inflammation? Here is an anti-inflammatory secret!

About one-third of our lives are spent sleeping, and whether sleep is normal or not is closely related to physical health. According to a study published in the journal Cell by a research team from Tsinghua University in 2023, long-term lack of sleep can lead to severe systemic inflammation and premature death. The topic that long-term lack of sleep will cause inflammation throughout the body has also become a hot search on Weibo, attracting widespread attention and discussion among netizens.

The study shows that long-term lack of sleep can trigger a systemic "inflammatory storm". The inflammatory factors in the serum of people who lack sleep are significantly increased. The long-term stress state of the human body will also lead to a decrease in the body's immunity and increase the risk of metabolic diseases, cancer, mental illness, etc. Health experts suggest that people who lack sleep for a long time can effectively reduce systemic inflammation by eating more anti-inflammatory foods, taking a half-hour nap, and exercising at moderate intensity. They also recommend another "anti-inflammatory secret" - astaxanthin, which has been scientifically proven to have a positive effect on reducing systemic inflammation that cannot be underestimated.

Domestic and foreign studies have found that the anti-inflammatory effect of astaxanthin is mainly based on its powerful antioxidant properties. It exerts its anti-inflammatory effect through multiple mechanisms such as inhibiting pro-inflammatory factors, regulating immune cells, and protecting cells from damage. First, astaxanthin can inhibit the secretion and expression of multiple pro-inflammatory factors, such as nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), IL-1β, IL-6, etc. These pro-inflammatory factors play a key role in the inflammatory response. By inhibiting their activity, astaxanthin can reduce the degree of inflammatory response.

Secondly, oxidative stress is one of the important factors leading to inflammatory response. Astaxanthin has a strong antioxidant capacity, which can effectively neutralize free radicals that may cause oxidative stress and reduce the damage of oxidative stress to cells. By inhibiting oxidative stress, astaxanthin can indirectly reduce the incidence and intensity of inflammatory response. In addition, astaxanthin can regulate the function of the immune system, enhance the activity and function of immune cells, and improve the body's resistance. By enhancing cellular immunity and humoral immunity, astaxanthin can more effectively respond to adverse external stimuli, thereby reducing inflammatory response.

It can be seen that astaxanthin plays a significant role in enhancing the body's anti-inflammatory ability. As a well-known domestic brand of astaxanthin, Green A Astaxanthin, relying on its self-built Haematococcus algae breeding base and close cooperation with authoritative institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has not only made the first breakthrough in the industrialization of Haematococcus algae astaxanthin, but also successfully developed the first astaxanthin product in China - Red A Asda Soft Capsules. On this basis, Green A has continuously optimized its product line and launched a series of high-quality products such as astaxanthin concentrate and frozen astaxanthin, helping more people to enjoy the various health benefits brought by astaxanthin.

According to the survey data of the China Sleep Research Society, more than 300 million people in my country have sleep disorders, and the sleep problems of working people represented by those born after 1985 and 1980 are the most prominent, which means that many people are suffering from chronic inflammation. Therefore, developing good sleep habits and improving sleep treatment are the key. Based on the significant anti-inflammatory effect of astaxanthin, supplementing astaxanthin has become one of the effective means to improve sleep quality and relieve chronic inflammation, providing additional health support for people suffering from sleep disorders.
