to work overtime every day, work pressure is high, and you are so stressed that you can't breathe? I didn't have time to eat, and my figure was like a blowing ball, and I gained a lot of weight. Liu Born, the permanent director of the Taiwan Obesity Education and Prevention Association, said that this is what is called "pressure obesity", which has a lot to do with psychological factors. In addition to improving diet, it also needs to adjust the routine and exercise and combine it with psychological treatment.
How does pressure obesity occur? What are the accompanying symptoms?Pressure-type obesity is also called "overweight". Liu Born said that this type of obesity is due to obesity caused by intracellular hormone imbalance caused by pressure, which leads to modern problems.
He shared past cases that an internal medicine engineer under the age of 30 came to see a clinic. He was 170 cm tall and his body weight was as high as 120 kilograms. The patient said that he did not eat too much and his body weight continued to rise. After detailed questions, I found that the engineer had gained 40 kilograms in less than half a year, and the time happened to happen after changing the new job. Because of the high pressure on work, I often stay up late and suffer from insomnia. Even if I fall asleep, I dream about work-related things. In addition, the hair is round and the obese part is mainly in the stomach, so it can be pushed to be "pressure-type obesity".
Liu Born said that a large body of pressure secretes a hormone called cortisol, which makes the body in a ready state. If the pressure continues, loosening will prompt the body to want to consume more heat, and gradually absorb too much heat and sugar will turn into fat. In addition, loosening and steroids have similar effects, so large amounts of loosening are like taking steroids for a long time, resulting in side effects such as hydrating and reducing muscle mass, which increases the fat rate.
In addition, due to the misalignment of internal sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, the sympathetic nerves are relatively low in the circumcision and parasympathetic nerves, which are also prone to constipation and other conditions.
How to treat stress obesity? What foods can improve? Is sports useful?Liu Born said that using fattening drugs for pressure obesity is not effective, because most fattening drugs mainly redirect oil discharge or suppress appetite; if you want to improve pressure obesity, you should first relieve the pressure and improve hormones and other reward problems.
Therefore, it is usually possible to use drugs to relieve pressure first. 30% of patients with clinical experience will be given drugs for insomnia and 40% will be given relaxants; in addition, tryptophan-related drugs will be given to increase serotonin.
Liu Born explains that when the human serotonin concentration decreases, it makes people feel depressed and hungry, causing a negative pressure cycle. In addition to medicine, you can also eat more foods such as papaya, fruit, bananas, etc. that can improve serotonin. You can also supplement the minerals and calcifications to help stabilize the mood.
Food selection should avoid foods that are prone to inflammation, such as refined powder containing high GI index (glycemic index), or replace them with ingredients rich in resistant powder such as sweet potatoes and corn to stabilize blood sugar and blood lipids.
Liu Born said that in addition to eating, exercise cannot be ignored. You don’t need to do intense exercise at the beginning. You can do at least one comfortable body exercise a day, or at least three minutes of abdominal breathing in an hour to increase oxygen content and allow abdominal muscle activity. Taking the engineer seeking diagnosis as an example, he only did physical exercises a day and lost 10 kilograms in 2 weeks. After that, the strength must be increased step by step. It is best to use medium and high aerobic exercises, such as climbing a stairs, jogging, etc., to achieve the effect of hot burning.
How to treat or improve stress obesity from a medium-medical perspective?Chinese doctor Chen Chaozong said that many people are prone to overeating due to pressure, causing stress obesity. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, it can be used to relieve and adjust the medicines such as far-reaching, sour kernel, acorus granulum or Tianwang Jingxin Dan to relieve comfort and adapt; these Chinese medicines should still be established by Chinese medicine doctors. If there is no medical treatment, the public can avoid eating "sour" foods to avoid excessive irritation of appetite.
In addition, you can also massage the acupoints to relieve pressure, such as Fengchi point and Jianjing point. The Fengchi acupoint is below the occipital bone of the back occipital part. First sit upright, follow the two large tendons under the back occipital bone, and touch the Fengchi acupoint when the outer depression is touched; press the pressure with both thumbs. The Jianjing point is located on the shoulder, directly above the nipple and the shoulder line, you can hold your hands in your chest and put your fingers on the shoulders; you can use the index finger or middle finger to rub downwards.
