White collar workers accounted for 40.7% of the people who were overweight or obese. The prevalence of fatty liver and “three highs” was 4.4% and 3.2% higher than that of ordinary workers. The common chronic diseases of white-collar workers are cervical spondylosis 34%, pharyngitis 28%, hemorrhoids 24%, chronic enteritis 20%, and fatty liver 20%.
Why is the health of white-collar workers so worrying? Faced with the severe sub-health state of this huge group, how can we improve it?
stay sedentary for a long time and get entangled with hemorrhoids
One of the four white-collar workers has hemorrhoids. Why do they account for such a large proportion?
Hemorrhoids “prefer” office workers, and the problem lies in “sitting still for a long time”. This is because if you keep sitting for a long time, especially sitting on a soft seat, the abdominal blood flow will slow down, the venous blood of the lower limbs will not flow back, and the blood circulation will be hindered.
In this case, rectal veins are prone to varicose, leading to blood stasis and eventually forming a vein mass, which is hemorrhoids. With the continuous improvement of people’s living conditions, such seemingly comfortable pleasures as taking the place of walking by car, eating fine, eating delicious, drinking spicy food and playing sedentary games provide a good opportunity for hemorrhoids and other anorectal diseases to invade the body.
Many people think that hemorrhoids are “minor ailments” that do not deserve attention. But hemorrhoids look small, but they are easy to lead to anemia, skin eczema, etc. if not treated in time, the focus will continue to aggravate, which will also lead to rectal cancer. Women with hemorrhoids will also cause gynecological inflammation.
how to prevent hemorrhoids
People working in the office should sit on hard benches. When a person sits on a hard bench, his hips are supported by two sitting joints, so that the blood circulation is less hindered and the occurrence of hemorrhoids can be reduced.
Workers who have been sitting and standing for a long time should strengthen physical exercise, appropriately change their working positions, and pay more attention to the movement of lower limbs during exercise to improve blood circulation; Diet should be moderate, not too hungry and full, not partial to food, drink more water, eat more coarse fiber food, such as miscellaneous grains, vegetables, fruits, etc., eat less fried and stimulating food, and try to eat less pepper and Baijiu, so as to reduce the stimulation of alcohol and spicy food to the anorectum.
But if you have anorectal disease, you don’t need to worry and fear too much, and you should seek medical treatment in time to avoid affecting your normal work and life.
eat more and move less “three highs” come to your door
Mr. Chen, who is 54 years old, was diagnosed with hypertension two years ago and needs to take antihypertensive drugs on time every day. Due to heavy work pressure, despite drug control, his blood pressure is still recurrent. “I work overtime every day and go to sleep when I get home. How can I have the time and strength to exercise…” he said that many middle-aged colleagues around me suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, fatty liver and other diseases.
In addition to working under great pressure during the day, white-collar workers often have various social gatherings at night. Irregular diet and sleep make it difficult for their physical functions to function normally. Many people have sub-health, which can easily lead to hypertension, hyperlipidemia, liver abnormalities and overweight.
The “three highs” have a lot to do with the unscientific diet and lack of physical exercise, as well as their busy work, high mental pressure and excessive social intercourse. “Three highs” disease is a metabolic disorder. If it is not intervened in time, it will develop into diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other diseases.
how to prevent from “three highs”
Most white-collar workers mainly work in the office, do not exercise much every day, and the proportion of meals is uneven. Breakfast is sloppy, lunch and dinner are fast food in the workplace, or they are tired of social intercourse.
Therefore, the proportion of daily dietary calories in lunch and dinner is large, and the dinner time is relatively late, and there is a lack of exercise after dinner, resulting in excess calories.
If you adjust the caloric ratio of three meals and maintain the caloric balance, it is very important to prevent obesity. Obesity is a high-risk factor of “three highs”. Weight loss can reduce the risk of the above diseases, promote the decline of blood pressure and blood viscosity, improve the sensitivity of surrounding tissues to insulin, and improve the state of insulin resistance.
In order to reduce weight, in addition to exercising and changing bad living habits, a balanced diet is also very important, especially limiting the intake of sugar, salt and fat, and eating more fresh vegetables and fruits with high fiber content. White collar workers over 30 years old should regularly test blood pressure and blood lipid, and regularly test blood sugar.
balanced nutrition improves sub-health
It is undeniable that the overall poor health of white-collar workers is related to the nature of their work.
For example, there are more occupational diseases such as cervical spondylosis and hemorrhoids in sitting office than in ordinary mental workers. Work requires entertainment, and sometimes it is not enough not to eat. Fatty liver, hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and chronic enteritis are higher than those of physical and mental workers.
The workload of white-collar workers is large and single, their work and rest time are easy to be changed by work, their interpersonal relationship is complex, their range of activities is small, their exercise time is limited, and their pressure from work and life is large, resulting in a higher incidence of sub-health than other people.
how to improve sub-health
Work pressure, social pressure, life pressure, interpersonal relationship and other factors are the main causes of white-collar sub-health. To eliminate sub-health, in addition to regular physical examination and increased exercise, attention should be paid to the balance of diet and nutrition and effective nutrient supplementation, which can effectively improve their life pressure and prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other chronic diseases.
In addition to changing daily eating habits, adjusting work and rest time, strengthening physical exercise and mental health education, we should constantly improve our physical quality and reduce the occurrence of diseases. We must also learn to actively decompress and adjust ourselves, supplement enough “spiritual nutrition”, relieve various pressures, and work and live happily, so as to achieve the health of physical and mental unity.
