In the fast-paced modern life, many migrant workers face a helpless dilemma. They are busy with work and physically and mentally exhausted, perhaps sighing in front of the mirror on countless overtime nights: their wages are not rising, but their bodies are bulging; My hair is going crazy, but my weight is still hanging on.
The report on the obesity status of Chinese migrant workers reveals a worrying phenomenon: the overall obesity rate in China has reached an astonishing 14.1%, and the overweight rate is as high as 34.8%!
Research analysis suggests that increasing work pressure, irregular eating habits, social culture such as drinking alcohol, and lack of sufficient exercise may all be the reasons why working men, especially working men, become overweight at an early age, commonly known as overwork and obesity.
1、Which people are more prone to overwork and obesity?
Designers, journalists, civil servants, teachers, doctors, social workers, lawyers, e-commerce, IT personnel, advertising professionals, etc.
2、What causes overwork and obesity?
❶ Lack of sleep leads to increased secretion of hunger hormones
Sleeping less or staying up all night can cause an increase in the secretion of hunger hormones, leading to a strong sense of hunger and resulting in overeating and obesity.
❷ Excessive pressure leads to increased secretion of adrenal cortisol hormone
People face psychological pressure caused by heavy work, and the secretion of adrenal cortisol hormone increases, making them prone to gaining weight. High pressure can easily lead to endocrine disorders, slower metabolism, and naturally lead to weight gain.
❸ Unhealthy lifestyle
Workplace workers, especially white-collar workers, often sit for long periods of time and lack exercise, which not only hinders food digestion, but also leads to a decrease in basal metabolism, slower energy consumption, and ultimately leads to obesity.
3、How to avoid overwork and obesity?
1. Self stress reduction and maintaining a healthy lifestyle
Changing dietary habits and adjusting dietary structure are key factors. Eat more grains, green vegetables, and a small amount of nuts appropriately. Going to bed and waking up early, and avoiding staying up late, can help with the body's metabolism and energy expenditure.
2. Utilizing fragmented time for exercise
In the office, we can use our break time to engage in some simple exercises, such as chest expansion exercises, standing against walls and supporting arms, etc. These exercises not only relax our mood, but also avoid obesity caused by prolonged sitting.
