Lack of physical activity
With the rapid development of the economy, the lifestyle of residents has changed.

At present, the majority of the mainland's residents are physically inactive.

Super heavy manure
Overweight and obese people have excessive body fat accumulation and abnormal distribution, which is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, cancer and other diseases. Studies have shown that 13.5% of cardiovascular deaths nationwide are attributed to overweight and obesity.
04
Work life is stressful
Nowadays, many young people are under tremendous pressure in their lives and work, and their spirits are always in a state of tension and anxiety. If you stay in this state for a long time, it may cause fluctuations in blood sugar and blood pressure, endocrine disorders, and increase the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
05
Lack of sleep
Due to working or studying during the day, many young people often stay up late at night to look at their mobile phones and play with computers, or stay up late for a long time to work overtime, which seriously affects the quality of sleep, resulting in difficulty falling asleep, insomnia, and decreased immunity. Studies have shown that poor sleep quality can be detrimental to heart health and increase the risk of heart disease. 06
Smoking and drinking
Smoking and drinking alcohol are two major health hazards. Long-term smoking not only leads to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but also increases the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, etc. Excessive alcohol consumption has also been linked to a variety of diseases, increasing the risk of liver damage, gout, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers.
