In modern society, overtime has become the norm in many people's lives. With the increasing pressure of work and the accelerated pace of life, employees have to work overtime frequently to cope with heavy work tasks. However, frequent overtime not only has a negative impact on physical health, but also poses a certain risk to the heart. For young people in particular, early understanding how to protect the heart is crucial for future health.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the heart is the "sovereign" of the human body, and it plays a key role in regulating blood circulation and controlling blood**. The physical fatigue and stress caused by overtime work can lead to an increased burden on the heart, which may lead to a risk of heart disease in the long run.
First of all, to protect the heart, we need to control the working hours reasonably and try to avoid overexertion. If possible, try to work regularly and get plenty of rest each day. In addition, moderate exercise is also an important means to protect the heart. Exercise can enhance the contractility of the heart muscle, promote blood circulation, and reduce the occurrence of heart diseases.
In TCM theory, some ancient remedies are widely used to protect the health of the heart. For example, drugs such as ginseng, yellow essence, and maca have the effect of replenishing qi and nourishing blood and regulating heart function. These herbs can be boiled into a decoction or mixed into an appropriate amount of ointment to protect heart health through long-term use.
In addition, we can also adjust our diet and choose some heart-healthy foods. For example, foods rich in -3 fatty acids, such as salmon, cod, walnuts, etc., can reduce the incidence of heart disease. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins C and E, which can prevent the occurrence of heart disease. In addition, a moderate amount of red wine can also help with heart health.
Mental health is equally important, and TCM believes that the heart is closely linked to emotions. If you work overtime regularly, you will be irritable and prone to anxiety and depression, which can also have a negative impact on your heart health. Therefore, we need to learn to adjust our emotions and maintain a good attitude.
To sum up, it is especially important for people who work overtime a lot to protect their heart health. The risk of heart disease can be reduced through reasonable control of working hours, moderate exercise, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, dietary adjustment, and psychological adjustment. For young people, early protection is even more critical and can lay a good foundation for future health.
