Wu Dingyu said that many people are afraid to eat starch in order to lose weight. I often hear people say "don't eat starch after a few hours". The staple food is either chicken breast or tea eggs. This is understandable, but now everyone’s life is busy. Many office workers only exercise after get off work. After exercising, they are afraid that they will gain weight if they eat a big meal right away. Many people only eat two tea eggs after exercise, or high protein such as soy milk. Food, hoping to "reduce fat and increase muscle".

But protein will stimulate gastric acid secretion, and it is actually close to bedtime after exercising after get off work.

I finally sleep but I can't sleep well. I even often have a sore throat and inflammation." And the throat is always inflamed and painful, it is the reflux of the gastroesophagus, and the gastric acid erodes the throat, causing "chronic pharyngitis".

Whether it is flavored milk or fresh milk, although it contains lactose, the protein of milk is high, which will stimulate Stomach acid secretion can also make people sleepless and easily cause gastroesophageal reflux.
