Have you ever thought your job and waistline were always together?
I bet you have not, but here is to change.
The point is not how much you really enjoy or despise your job. The point is that even if you like your job is still pretty stressful. Right?
This you can get to the big stress and waist-jack, which is well documented, but there is no data to facilitate the work and waistline connection?
Yes!
A study under the direction of Dr. Eric J. Brunner over 19 years (American Journal of Epidemiology, January 22, 2007) noted that the increase in job stress levels were in excess fat around the waistline, which has a detrimental effect on Your heart. The participants in the study were between 35 to 55 years (6895 men and 3413 women aged 35 to 55) tells of jobs stem contain high levels of demands, little decision-making power and little social support. Both men and women who reported job strain on at least three occasions were 73 percent more expect to heart disease and high blood pressure pressure.
A very interesting result was that socio-economic status and tobacco consumption was also considered, but little importance. The study provides a solid evidence that high mental workload and lack of social support at work can cause abdominal obesity or large belly and which is bad news for your heart.
What is all the more important that stress is the link between supply and waist.
What can you do?
Here are some of my favorite stress-relief techniques that are easy to use in the working world city:
Here are my favorite-4 techniques inspired by traditional Chinese medicine. I practice it on me every time I have an unusually busy day, too many concerns, poor sleep, headaches for "no reason" after a long day or a deadline approaching.
1 Head acupressure
Put your hands on the head (you can sit, stand or lie in bed). Find the basis for your skull with your thumb. Press your thumb and slightly upwards towards your eyes. Repeat 10 times
Or
Press your fingers the centre-right in the middle of the eye brows and slightly above them. Keep the pressure for 10 seconds and release. Repeat 5 times.
Then slide your fingers along your eyebrows up to the temple. Place the middle finger into the temple and make a circular movement and push the fingers behind the ear on the side of the neck. Repeat 5 times.
2 Hands acupressure
The point is located on both hands, more than 1.5 inches (3.8cm) in from the edge of the webbing between your thumb and index finger. Put your left thumb on the right hand and squeeze point. Then with the index finger massage the palm of your hand. Do the same on the other side. Repeat 5 times.
3 Neck stretch and self-massage:
Loosening and relaxing your muscles by stretching and massaging the neck is a very simple but very efficient stress relief technology makes you feel less tense and rigid. Bend your head forward, then in a slow circular motion to move the head from the right shoulder on the left. Are the start of the same circle from the right side.
Try it - it works!
4 Breathing
There is nothing better and less expensive than the rapid breathing as a stress-relief method. Take a deep breath.
Yes. A deep breath and slowly exhale. That's it!
Do they Again.
3 time is enough. The more you deliver oxygen to the brain, the more endorphines (the hormones that make you feel good) released.
Now you are willing to work any thoughts or stressful situations that your way!
In Conclusion: If you have a particularly stressful job or you hate your job-your heart can literally suffer. Please read my article "Can your waist measurement save your heart" .
The great thing is that now that you know your job and waist are connected, you can do something to prevent this from happening.
Well, start, by using a tape measure.
To sum it up: There is a growing body of evidence that waistline> 35 inches (women) or> 40 cm (men) is a strong indicator risk of heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. There are also solid data on the relationship between job stress and abdominal obesity.
