Introduction: the pace of modern people’s life is getting faster and faster, lack of exercise, unreasonable diet, and a series of problems make office workers more and more fat. What factors lead to office workers’ obesity? Xiaobian explains it for you:
1. High work pressure: easy to slow down metabolism stomach mouth opening
Work pressure can be said to be the number one culprit for the obesity of working families. Competition in the workplace is fierce, and office workers are usually under great pressure. On the one hand, the increase of pressure can easily lead to endocrine disorder and slow down human metabolism; On the other hand, it will lead to a high adrenal cortisol index, which will increase people’s appetite, especially the demand for carbohydrates. Metabolism slows down, but intake increases, leaving more calories for basic metabolism, which is easy to lead to obesity. At the same time, high pressure is also easy to stimulate the psychological desire of office workers to eat. When people encounter pressure or difficulties that are difficult to solve, or problems they do not want to face, they often reduce the pressure and get rid of emotional troubles by eating and drinking unconsciously. Of course, it is easy to gain weight by eating constantly.
Countermeasures: office workers should formulate a correct decompression plan to reduce the potential obesity. First of all, individuals should clarify the root causes of stress, adjust their mental state in time, do not allow the development of stress emotions, learn to transfer and release pressure, and try to reduce pressure through appropriate rest, relaxation, sports, chatting with friends, actively developing personal hobbies and other diversified ways.
2. Less activity time: don’t like to “sit and wait” for obese people to come to work
For office workers, the scope of activities during work is not large. In addition, many people rely on the telephone or the Internet to communicate with people in the workplace. Even colleagues who are close to each other are used to communicating on the company’s internal network, which further reduces the frequency of activities. And if people stay in their seats for a long time, it is easy to cause fat accumulation, resulting in obesity and large belly. At the same time, because busy work often makes office workers tired physically and mentally, and often takes up rest time, the private time that can be set aside is extremely limited, so many people not only don’t like to move at work, but also don’t like to move after work. They are used to walking in and out by car. They have to take the elevator to get upstairs and downstairs, and rarely exercise in their spare time. After a long time, obesity naturally comes to their door.
Countermeasures: walk as much as possible when you can walk at ordinary times; Properly strengthen face-to-face communication with people at work and increase the frequency of walking, which also helps to enhance mutual feelings; You can do some simple relaxation exercises during work breaks. Don’t sit down immediately after lunch. You can take a walk in and out of the office; In your spare time, exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. Running, walking, climbing, doing sit ups, cycling and other sports are all good choices.
3. drinking eating is unscientific: too sloppy during the day and too rich at night
The lunch of office workers is usually solved outside. Although it is convenient to order takeout or go to a restaurant, it is not easy to have a delicious and nutritious lunch. The time and conditions for lunch are very limited, and most people just make do with it casually, without much requirements for taste or nutrition. And the crude diet is often single or greasy, and the nutritional structure is unreasonable, which lays a great hidden danger for gaining weight. Because lunch is casual, many people eat more when they come home in the evening, and many office workers have more entertainment in the evening, eat more, and are prone to overeating. However, eating rich does not mean that the nutrition intake is balanced, and eating too much or too nutritious at night is not easy to digest, and the remaining calories are easy to accumulate and store, forming obesity.
Countermeasures: no matter for lunch or dinner, we should pay attention to the “dynamic balance” of nutrition intake. Meat, fish, vegetables, soybean products and other foods should be balanced. Even if you can only eat takeout boxed lunch for lunch, you should be careful about choosing side dishes and choose less spicy, greasy and high sugar foods; Some nutritious food can be supplemented in an appropriate amount for dinner, but it is forbidden to eat too much, stay away from fried food, reduce the intake of meat, beer and starchy food, and pay attention not to eat 3 hours before bed.
4. Lack of sleep: physiological clock disorder affects “leptin” secretion
Long term lack of sleep is another important inducement for office workers to gain weight. Most people tend to associate lethargy with obesity, ignoring the potential link between “lack of sleep” and obesity, but in fact, the two are inseparable. The results of a 16 year study involving 68000 American women in the United States show that those women who can only sleep for an average of 5 hours a day weigh 15 kilograms more than those who can sleep for an average of 7 hours a day. This is mainly because less sleep time will lead to the disorder of the human body’s physiological clock and affect the secretion of the hormone “leptin”, which is an important element to maintain weight. In addition, when people “lack sleep”, they tend to be lazy because of their low spirits, which is also easy to cause obesity. Therefore, office workers who often stay up late and work overtime or cannot sleep well because of pressure are easy to gain weight.
Countermeasures: the best sleep time for adults is 7-8 hours, and it is appropriate to sleep after 10 p.m. Office workers should scientifically arrange their work and rest time, reduce staying up late, improve sleep quality, increase deep sleep periods, and gradually restore hormone secretion to normal on the premise of ensuring adequate sleep. Career development in China’s workplace requires good career planning, and good health also requires thoughtful health care measures. Only by not discriminating against one another and knowing how to prepare for a rainy day can people in the workplace walk more steadily and confidently.
