Office workers are prone to accumulate fat in the abdomen because they are sedentary and have bad eating habits. There are many reasons for office workers to get fat, among which sedentary work is the main reason, and others include overeating, eating out, eating snacks and bad eating habits caused by stress. In addition, if you miss the meal time when you are busy at work, your blood sugar balance and emotional stability will be affected, and you will easily overeat because you are too hungry.
Abdominal obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The abdomen is the easiest part to detect obesity. Xie Ganni, a nurse practitioner in the Community Health Promotion Center of Changhua Christian Hospital, said that if human physiology is in a state of combat, the body will hoard fat to fight hunger, which means that abdominal fat has the task of protecting internal organs and storing calories.
Proper amount of fat can protect internal organs and maintain normal physiological functions. However, if a large amount of fat is accumulated due to lack of exercise, it will lead to long-term loss of shape, increase the possibility of cardiovascular diseases and chronic diseases, and endanger health.
