What are the reasons for overwork and fat? How should we reduce it?

When entering the workplace, when faced with heavy work, office workers often become "overtime dogs". They are under pressure and their bodies are exhausted. Logically speaking, under such circumstances, people should become haggard and thin, but many office workers find themselves getting more and more "fatter" and even bloated. What's going on? This kind of obesity among office workers is called "overwork obesity", which is mainly caused by high pressure and irregular life. To eliminate "overwork obesity", we must start from regular life.

1. Reasons for overwork and obesity

1. Poor work and rest, unbalanced secretion of "leptin"

Professor Eve Van Cauter of the University of Chicago once conducted an experiment that proved that sleep has a great impact on people's obesity. In a state of lack of sleep, the hormone "leptin" that regulates hunger in the body will undergo significant changes, making people feel a strong sense of hunger. Office workers often stay up late, and every time they feel hungry, they easily kick off food. The calorie intake naturally increases, and people become fat.

2. High stress and increased appetite

Work is piled up like mountains, dissatisfaction from superiors or customers, and tensions in interpersonal relationships... these can destroy a person's psychological defense line and make people feel pressured. Excessive stress can easily lead to high adrenal cortisol index, enhanced gastric peristalsis and digestive function, and increased appetite. When people feel stressed, they will think of some methods to divert attention. Therefore,"eating" has become the venting choice of most people in the workplace. In this case, it is really difficult not to get fat.

3. Many social parties and uncontrolled eating

Office workers often have meals when dealing with people in the workplace. Of course, alcohol and big fish and meat are indispensable for these meals. The food at the dinner table is rich in oil, salt, and has high fat content. If eaten frequently, you can easily become obese. When socializing with customers, men naturally have to drink a few glasses. In the long run, beer belly will emerge.

4. Can't afford to sit for a long time and exercise less

Being sedentary is the norm for office workers. Sitting down just after eating and then not getting up for a long time is not conducive to food digestion and easy to accumulate fat. In addition, if people are sedentary and lack of exercise, their basal metabolic rate will decrease, their ability to consume calories will be reduced, and it will be difficult for people to lose weight.

2.5 little habits to fight overwork and obesity

1. Drink plenty of water before and after meals

Drinking water half an hour before a meal can enhance your feeling of satiety and allow you to reduce the amount of food you eat when eating a meal. Drinking water half an hour after a meal can not only help digest difficult food in the stomach, but also dilute blood and enhance blood circulation. Therefore, drinking water for half an hour after a meal has a magical detoxification effect. Enhancing detoxification at any time every day is to enhance the weight loss effect.

2. Get up and walk every 40 minutes

After a meal, don't sit down immediately, you can stand against the wall for a while. When sitting down, don't bend your legs, which will lead to irregular lymph and easily cause small thick legs.

3. No eating after 9 p.m.

No more food after 9 p.m., except drinking water. If you are really hungry, you can eat some fruit or drink a cup of yogurt.

4. keep enough sleep

Work is never done, to learn to allocate their work reasonably, to make time for sleep, at least 7 hours of sleep. If you can't sleep because of mental stress, try doing sleep yoga and drinking a glass of milk before going to bed.

5. Take fewer elevators and more stairs.

Never take the elevator within 3 floors. This is true for shopping in the mall or going upstairs and downstairs. Don't take the elevator when you can climb stairs. If you climb 10 flights of stairs every day, that's the equivalent of running for 10 minutes.
