It is often seen that there are young people who are usually healthy and their weight is within the standard range, but when they go for a physical examination, they find that they have a variety of geriatric diseases. For example, uric acid, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids are elevated to varying degrees, moderate to severe fatty liver and thyroid nodules and so on.
Obviously, I usually live and eat well, why are there so many "geriatric diseases" in the results of the physical examination, what is going on?
01, one of the sub-health that can't be avoided - obesity
In this regard, some doctors said that in the past, the incidence of these chronic diseases in the elderly was relatively high, and in recent years, they have gradually become younger, and this sub-health state is related to many factors, and the core reason is bad living habits.
It's just that in the face of physical problems, sometimes there is no solution, such as obesity. In fact, the common problem faced by modern young people, or even modern people, is obesity.
For example, according to the Report on the Status of Nutrition and Chronic Diseases in China (2020), more than 50% of adult residents in mainland China are overweight and obese. Compared to 2015, adults over the age of 18 weighed 3.4 kg for men and 1.7 kg for women.
And obesity is also a problem all over the world, and everyone is fat.
With so much obesity, can you lose weight? It is said that "keep your mouth shut and open your legs", but in fact, it is too difficult.
It's not that I don't want to be thin, but I can't do it.
02, Why are you obese?
Modern people are too stressed, and stress is an important factor that leads to obesity - stress fat. For example, this article expounds on pressure fertilizers.
Specifically, it was found that in most cases, stress will affect obesity through multiple channels, such as focusing on the central nervous system and lipid metabolism, and affecting the body's metabolism through the body's hormones to cope with stress. In addition, the effects of the combination of obesity and psychosocial stress on cardiac function, brain-to-heart communication, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) pathways have been studied [1].
In addition, there are studies that suggest that stress affects the body's brown fat metabolism (BAT), which is the kind of good fat, something that burns fat [2].
Modern people are under so much pressure, for example, the per capita disposable income in the mainland is 36,883 yuan.
The per capita disposable income of urban residents was 49,283 yuan
The per capita disposable income of rural residents was 20,133 yuan
The median per capita disposable income of residents nationwide was 31,370 yuan
At present, housing prices in many places are often tens of thousands, the cost of living is extremely high, and it is no wonder that there is no pressure.
03, How to deal with stress fertilizer?
When it comes to weight loss, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind should be: keep your mouth shut and open your legs.
Many people will think that less house, less food, and more exercise, but in fact, how many people can do it? Not to mention that the gym is expensive, the key is that they can't afford time. Going to work every day alone makes many people tired enough, and in order to maintain the needs of survival, they must work hard and overwork.
There was an interview about why poor people are poor, why don't they go to study and exercise to improve themselves, and so on.
It later became clear that the hard work of the poor could only bring themselves to the level of survival, and there was no time for other things.
Even for people who work 8 hours, plus the commuting time, it is estimated that they will go for 10 hours, not to mention that many people do not work 8 hours at all, and they can't do double holidays. They have worked hard for life, how can they have the energy to exercise.
Actually, lying flat is nothing. Young people still have to pay attention to their health, otherwise how to work until they delay retirement and receive a pension.
