Sleep Deprivation Can Trigger Cancer

Regular exercise may reduce cancer risk in females. However, these benefits could be missed if the woman is sleeping little. Thus put forward a few U.S. researchers recently.

The study, involving 5968 females in Maryland confirms earlier findings, stating that individuals who perform regular physical activity face a lower risk for esophageal cancer.

Individuals who sleep less than five hours each night to face the risk of 47 percent for esophageal cancer than those who sleep more among females who are physically active. The researchers reported that a gathering of the American Association for Cancer Research.

But when the researchers looked at females aged 18 to 65 years of diligent exercise every week, they found that sleep seems to play an important role in cancer risk.

McClain, who led the study, said it was not clear how actual is little sleep may make people more susceptible to cancer. "Sleep has long been sufficiently related to health," said McClain.

"We thought it was fascinating and arouse curiosity. It is like the first time doing research. That is not something that has been studied extensively, "said James McClain from the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, the government, in an interview.

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) called the shortage of sleep as a public health issue that is not thought about, and said the Americans getting less sleep. The CDC states the percentage of adults who document sleeping five hours or less per night increased from 1985 to 2006.

Specialists say lack of sleep on chronic sleep associated with obesity, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart and blood vessel disease, depression, smoking and drinking to excess.

Diabetes exacerbates

Sleep deprivation was obstructing the adrenal glands produce DHEA (dehydro-epiandrosteron), a compound that helps stimulate the sleep soundly. As a result, the body becomes more produce cortisol, a steroid trigger stress.

The low insulin response caused the decline of blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which can trigger a chain reaction. Because of the limited blood sugar levels, the brain continues to get orders for our body "stays on". This led to a sleep problem, which actually worsen diabetes.

These conditions disrupt the body's response to the hormone insulin, which is in charge of distribution of blood sugar throughout the body, either to be stored and reused. In the long run, the chaos of this insulin response stimulate the emergence of disturbances of type five diabetes signs are not dependent on insulin.

In diabetics, the sugar supply is limited due to various reasons ( late to eat, work hard, a strict diet) can trigger hypoglycemia. In case you experience hypoglycemia, patients become less sleep and interfere with healing the disease.
