Overwork can lead to obesity. Office workers need to pay more attention

Nowadays, everyone is working and there is really no time to exercise. Moreover, life pressure is so high that one needs to keep busy every day to complete their work tasks. However, the constant busyness not only prevents oneself from losing weight, but also makes one gain more weight. How to solve such obesity? How to lose weight caused by overwork? Let's take a look at the following introduction.

Reasons for Overwork and Obesity in Office Workers

Poor sleep patterns and imbalanced secretion of "leptin"

Experts have conducted an experiment to prove that sleep has a significant impact on obesity. In a state of insufficient sleep, the hormone "leptin" that regulates hunger in the body will undergo significant changes, making people feel a strong sense of hunger. However, office workers often stay up late and tend to quit eating whenever they feel hungry. The intake of calories naturally increases, and people tend to gain weight.

High stress and increased appetite

A mountain of work, dissatisfaction from superiors or clients, and tense interpersonal relationships can all destroy a professional's psychological defenses and make people feel overwhelmed. Excessive stress can easily lead to high levels of cortisol in the adrenal glands, enhanced gastric peristalsis and digestive function, and increased appetite. When people feel stressed, they will think of using some methods to shift their attention, so "eating" has become the venting choice for most professionals. In this situation, it's really difficult not to gain weight.

There are many social engagements and an uncontrolled diet.

Office workers often have dinner parties when dealing with people in the workplace, and of course, alcohol and big fish and meat are indispensable at these parties. The food at the dinner party is rich in oil and salt, with a high fat content. Eating it regularly can lead to obesity. And for social clients, men naturally cannot avoid drinking a few glasses, and over time, their beer bellies will come out.

Sitting for too long and exercising less

Sitting for too long is the norm for office workers. Sitting down after finishing a meal and not getting up for a long time is not conducive to food digestion and can easily accumulate fat. In addition, prolonged sitting and lack of exercise can lead to a decrease in a person's basal metabolic rate and their ability to burn calories, making it difficult for them to lose weight.

Methods to combat overwork and obesity

Choose a low sugar, low-fat, high fiber, and high-quality protein diet

Try to have a healthy daily diet, choose low sugar and low-fat foods, such as morning milk, put down the easily picked up whole milk, and choose healthier skim milk for yourself. In addition, it is necessary to increase your intake of high fiber and high protein foods, such as whole wheat bread and staple foods made from grains and cereals. Keep your lunch away from fast food and fill your appetite with nutritious food, which can help you reduce calorie intake and gradually lose weight.

Eat three meals at a fixed time, be full at 80%, and eat more fresh food.

Skipping a meal and going hungry can come at a cost. Low blood sugar not only makes you dizzy and disoriented, but also makes you lose your judgment ability. Therefore, it is particularly easy to overeat and surrender to high calorie, fried, and sweet foods at the next meal. Even if you are busy with work, you still need to find a way to eat. Put ready to eat and healthy foods such as oatmeal, flour, and formula in the office for emergencies. But never work while eating. Since you can focus on your work, you should also focus on your diet!

Taking a bath before going to bed

Taking a bath before going to bed can warm up the whole body and relax the body. Specially prepared individuals are those who sit for long periods of time, work long hours, and frequently use computers. They often experience stiff shoulders and neck pain after work. Rinsing the shoulders and neck with a water column during a shower can promote blood circulation. Soak for 20 minutes and use fragrant dried orange peel or essential oil to relieve stress and promote sleep.Bedtime Yoga
