So fat! Late-night snack addiction syndrome: quit instant noodles

The economy is bad, office workers work long hours and are under great pressure. They are so busy that they become poor, or even fat! Doctors have found that more than 50% of domestic office workers suffer from overwork obesity, which is mostly related to long working hours, lack of sleep, and lack of exercise. Most of them suffer from "late-night snack addiction syndrome", which not only accumulates a lot of fat in the abdomen and buttocks, but also easily induces chronic diseases, seriously endangering their health.

Smoking and drinking without control can easily lead to obesity

Liu Bowen, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association and a specialist in obesity and weight loss, pointed out that office workers should not only prevent death from overwork, but also be careful about "overwork obesity." A woman in her 30s who works in the insurance industry works overtime for more than 12 hours a day to achieve good performance. She only eats a sandwich during the day and drinks 700.CC bubble milk tea with a large piece of fried chicken after get off work to fill her stomach.

Unexpectedly, in less than a week, the woman gained 5 kilograms due to overwork and suffered from "midnight snack addiction syndrome", that is, she ate very little during the day but ate and drank a lot at night. In addition, due to the great performance pressure, she often had midnight snacks with colleagues after get off work. She not only drank, smoked, and preferred fried food, but also exercised little, which led to obesity and significantly high blood sugar.

If you want to control your weight, of course you should not eat midnight snacks, and you should not eat within 4 hours before going to bed. This is because when people are resting, the activity of the body's organs is low and the metabolism is low, which can easily cause fat to accumulate in the abdomen and cause abdominal obesity. Sitting for a long time can easily cause fat to accumulate in the buttocks, resulting in pear-shaped obesity.

If office workers do not control their diet, they should be careful not to overwork, gain weight, and increase the risk of chronic diseases.
