Study says: Bad work mood is closely related to obesity

Most office workers eat a cookie or a chocolate bar to relieve their negative emotions when they are bored with work. However, a new research survey shows that compared with people who are actively affected at work, those who are more likely to choose high-calorie, high-fat junk food for their lunch, and such eating habits are more likely to lead to obesity problems.

According to the research results, 77% of the 2000 British office workers surveyed said that changes in their work mood will definitely affect their food choices for lunch. 72% of adults said that a difficult job has now become the most common excuse they use to seek comfort from junk food. Fortunately, compared with 30% of people who often choose high-fat and high-oil working meals, 40% choose fresh and healthy food.

At the same time, in order to save lunch time, most office workers will choose fast food that is high in fat and hot. 47% of respondents said that if they were busy at work, they would finish lunch as quickly as possible. The average person spends only 6 minutes on three meals a day a week, and even 14% say they skip lunch because of work. Currently, simple sandwiches have become the most common choice for lunch, and chocolate has also topped the list of ideal lunches.

However, nutritionist Azmina Govindji said: "Although we all live stressful and busy lives, it is not advisable to randomly replace a normal diet with chocolate bars or large cups of coffee in order to save time." We should not ignore lunch, and our bad eating habits can cause problems such as stomach pain or indigestion, which will make us uncomfortable for the entire afternoon, which is not worth the loss. High-fat and high-fever foods are the main culprit for stomach pain and indigestion." Moreover, studies have shown that high-fat and high-heat foods will not only increase our waistlines, but also reduce our "bank balances." Many office workers say that they spend an average of 221.76 pounds a year on junk food, equivalent to 2,138.4 yuan.

Therefore, although we can get temporary satisfaction and happiness from this kind of unhealthy food with high fat and high fever, various physical problems later will make us more uncomfortable. Because only by learning to correctly handle the pressure and emotional lows at work and maintaining correct and healthy eating habits can the body and mind be truly relaxed!
