Overtime need to be done after work overtime, pure "tonic" does not help

If you know that continuous overtime will lead to "brain damage", white-collar workers are also willing to "three bucket of rice," and sold their lives? The survey shows that many people still have to continue working overtime. Dietitian reminded, overtime need to make up time, pure "tonic" does not help, but still need to pay attention to the timely addition of a healthy diet.

Recently, the University of Hong Kong's poll research program interviewed 531 white-collar workers. According to the survey, white-collar workers in Hong Kong average 5.3 days a week. Among them, 54% of white-collar workers said they had to work overtime on average 3.6 days a week. 23% of white-collar workers said they had to work overtime on average for more than five days a week. On average, the respondents had worked for up to 13.5 hours in a row and on continuous work for 9 days. A further 8% said they had worked continuously for 18 days or more before they could rest.

Due to the frequent overtime work, 74% of respondents said that 39% of their employees were "not able to concentrate", "forgetting what happened" and "forgetting the name or process they should be familiar with" at work White-collar workers said they had to work overtime because they failed to finish their work on schedule.

According to nutrition experts in Hong Kong, the human body has been subjected to prolonged stress during continuous overtime work, which will lead to an aggravation of the oxidation process. "The high oxidative stress causes antioxidants to not completely eliminate the free radicals in the oxidative metabolism and at the same time causes the generation of free radical B-amyloid that causes further damage to the brain cells."

"Long-term overtime can easily lead to brain damage, do you still work overtime?", Sina microblogging then launched a online survey, more than eight thousand netizens voted actively, with more than 20% choice "must add ah, heavy workload, or who feed "In addition, more than 20% of people choose to know" long overtime can easily lead to brain damage, "the case of" without adding no health first "; less than 20% of people were chosen" never Overtime "or" no class can add "option.

Some netizens in the survey message, "I have added 3 weeks of classes, (to) next week off (interest) 2 days, continue to add." More white-collar workers said overtime is the unspoken rules of their industries.

Many white-collar workers to reporters with emotion, high-pressure work four or five years later, the physical condition has been greatly worse than before, "Before the general morning a cup of coffee can refresh, and now often drink two or three cups a day, will still be forgetful, People seem to be really stupid. "

Beijing Municipal Institute of Nutrition missionary director, nutrition expert Gu Zhongyi told Life Week interview, said the state of overtime, it should not be a normal state, it is a state of stress. Under heavy pressure, blood pressure will increase, some of the metabolism will slow down, leading to the oxidation process.

"In overtime, B vitamins will also be a substantial decline, the human body will consume their own great nutrients, such as protein, minerals and other large loss, and affect the functioning of neurological organs." Gu Zhongyi told reporters , Due to overtime work, white-collar diet will be irregular, do not eat or gluttony, will lead to rapid decline or increase in blood sugar, while under heavy pressure, continuous overtime, without timely rest, will destroy the body itself The original hormone balance.

For many white-collar workers who are used to drinking coffee and tea when they work overtime, Gu said that "coffee and tea are not bad things in themselves." But he also said, "If you want to work overtime just with coffee and tea, Not to let yourself relax after overtime, coffee and tea are not able to solve the problem of oxidative stress, and can not really make people recover from the difficulties. "Gu Zhongyi reminded that excessive intake of coffee and tea, will make the mood even more nervous, It will cause insomnia. "Coffee, tea, diuretic, drink a lot, then, if not promptly replenish the water, but also may cause kidney pressure."

Love daydreaming, maybe smarter

Do you like to "go crazy", do you love to be "daydreaming"? Have you ever been troubled by the habit of "daydreaming" love? Perhaps the recent survey will make you feel good. According to a new study in the United States, doing "daydreaming" may make people smarter.

Daydreaming is not a psychological professional term. The word "daydream" written in this article does not mean dreaming in the daytime. It means that when you do something, you can easily "walk in the air" and like to let your thoughts float away and other irrelevant things.

In this study of the United States, I found that people who love to daydream may be smarter. Because "their brain has more working memory for temporary storage and processing of information and can use it with one mind."

Daniel Levinson, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin in the United States, and his team recruited volunteers aged 18 to 65 and asked them to perform some simple tasks to do the survey. Volunteers accept the test is relatively simple. Researchers believe that because of such tasks is very simple, it is easy to lead to volunteers, "God."

During the experiment, researchers regularly volunteer to concentrate on tasks or daydreaming. After the task is completed, the researchers test volunteers' working memory skills, allowing them to remember letters and answer simple mathematical equations.

The results showed that more volunteers who reported "insane" when performing simple tasks scored higher in the working memory test.

Another team expert said: "People often do various kinds of planning in their daily lives, sometimes on buses and sometimes in showers, which may be supported by working memory, and their brains are trying to allocate resources to the most stressful Things, "the researcher said." This study shows that when the mission environment is not particularly difficult, people have additional working memory resources to think beyond the job at hand. "

Professor Shen Yongqiang, professor of clinical psychology at Shanghai Normal University, told reporters that although he himself did not engage in experimental research in this area, he had had a similar experiment with students. "Designed a memory test of a word in the background, with music background, and no external sound background." Shen Yongqiang said that in this experiment, the music background, the experimental testers The ability to remember words is better than without a musical background.

"In general, having a musical background may distract and distract testers," said Shen Yong-Qiang, who said that this experiment is similar to the latest American experiment. "It's not easy to say I'm smarter than I can easily walk around, and I do not see specific source data."

Shen Yongqiang added to Lifestyle Weekly reporters that people who like to "walk God" are more likely to be freed from the annoyances of ordinary life. "They will find new and reasonable explanations for the dilemmas they encounter in their own lives and find their own reasons for being happier. '' God-loving people love life more and more in his daydreaming Other cognitions. "

Earlier, a paper in Psychology magazine also said that doing "daydreaming" will help to forget the current troubles, the survey said it can help people through the "daydream" to forget something Things to forget.

Psychologists suggest that if you want to get rid of some thoughts, it is best to recall a long-term thing; the best way to stop some of the ideas is to think of other things, especially long before, or with cultural differences, space Far away
