There is a kind of fat, called "overworked fat"

Some people may have heard of "overwork", but the mention of "overworked fat" always feels a joke, however, the truth is that it is not funny, even with sudden death, a little scary.

Overworked fat, as the name implies, is too much work and fat. In addition to the common office workers, who may have just experienced "5 years of college entrance examination 3 years of simulation" struggling high school students also have experience (just participated in the college entrance examination children ...... cover your face). Why so busy, so much pressure, so tired but also down fat? Shouldn't it be thin thin thin? Look at their toot round face, really by the body and psychological double blows!

After overworking, why did you gain weight?

How did you gain weight?

Overworked fat, love young people. According to a CCTV survey, about three years of work is the high incidence of "overworked fat", and more than a quarter of people have gained 5 kg of weight than when they first joined the company. Media professionals, programmers, lawyers, medical workers, etc., are most likely to be "hit".

This is because overwork - work, study, and psychological stress - can cause hypothalami c-pituitary-adrenal cortical dysfunction, followed by an increase in cortisol secretion, making people Overeat, making body fat accumulation; coupled with long-term sedentary, lack of exercise, diet chaos, nutritional imbalance and irregular work and rest, metabolism slows down and decreases; in addition often stay up late, lack of sleep will also make the stomach hunger hormone levels rise, increasing appetite and raising the risk of intake of extra calories. Studies have confirmed that people who like to stay up late consume an average of about 300 calories more per day than those who sleep for 8 hours, and most of these calories come from fatty foods.

In short, stress, long-term sedentary not exercise, diet, work, rest irregularities, staying up late, and so on cause hormone secretion disorder, so that the fat in the accumulation and metabolic consumption become low, double attack, the result is "fat". Therefore, after overworking people are not thin but fat.

Warning! "Overworked fat" and "sudden death" as terrible

If sudden death is an "acute killer", then overworked fat is a "chronic killer". Overworked fat involves a wide range of people, and the health effects of a longer period, will increase the medical and social burden, from a certain point of view, overworked fat is no less harmful than sudden death.

Obesity and overweight can lead to a series of health problems, research shows that the incidence of diabetes in obese patients can increase by 10 times; men with obesity have a high incidence of colon cancer, rectal cancer, prostate cancer, and women with obesity are 2-3 times more likely to suffer from endometrial cancer than normal women.

Stay away from "overworked fat", remember three moves

01

Take advantage of the opportunity to exercise

Most office workers cannot have fixed time for exercise, so make good use of "fragmented" time for exercise. For example, when going to and from work, going to and from the subway, try to do fewer elevators and more stairs, drink water, time to go to the toilet, you can also fully move the muscles and bones, sitting in a chair can also be every hour to move the neck and waist, from time to time to stretch the legs, to promote blood circulation.

02

Control the calorie diet

Busy work, but also to ensure that the three meals a day regular ration, which is to control calories, effective weight loss, but also to protect the intestines and stomach. Try to choose food with low salt and low stimulation cooking method when you eat. Also in the office, it is best not to put high-calorie, fried, baked, or puffed snacks, you can choose to use fresh fruit as a snack.

03

Take the initiative to DE-stress yourself

There are many times the pressure is given on themselves, learn to let go of some things that are beyond their reach, so that their mood becomes easier. Or the daily work by the priorities listed, one by one to complete, do not go to work on the brush news brush gossip, the results to the time of delivery and too late, only overtime, a late night, it is easy to affect the next day's work efficiency, in the long run, the vicious circle, people are fat, the boss has not seen the results ...... In short, work and life In work and life, to learn to regulate emotions and release pressure, singing, hiking, cycling, and friends together to the countryside for a long walk are good ways to reduce stress.

I hope you will pay more attention in the future in your daily life, away from the "overworked fat"!
