In recent years, the incidence of diabetes has been increasing year by year in the world, not only among the elderly, but also among young and middle-aged people, including white-collar workers with good living habits and strong self-management skills. For some health-conscious, exercise-conscious female white-collar workers, inadvertently finding out that they have diabetes can be really confusing. So, what is going on with a female white-collar worker who is usually super self-disciplined and has been exercising for a long time has inadvertently found diabetes?
Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that diabetes is mostly a "thirst-quenching disease", which is called "thirst-quenching" in ancient literature, and has a long history. The occurrence of diabetes mellitus is related to human endowment, but it is more closely related to lifestyle habits, dietary structure, work pressure and other factors. For female white-collar workers who are usually ultra-self-disciplined and exercise for a long time, the causes of the disease may be as follows:
First of all, the dietary preferences are not reasonable. People who usually pay attention to their own health usually pay more attention to the rationality of their diet and pursue a low-fat, low-sugar, low-salt diet, especially white-collar women pay more attention to weight control and will choose a low-calorie diet, but ignore the diversity of diets. In the long run, the body lacks a variety of nutrients, which can easily lead to insulin resistance, which in turn leads to the occurrence of diabetes.
Secondly, excessive exercise leads to excessive physical exertion. Exercise plays an important role in physical health, but moderate exercise and excessive exercise are two different concepts. In order to maintain their figure and reduce work pressure, some white-collar women often do a lot of high-intensity exercise, which leads to excessive physical consumption, weak temper, and reduced absorption and metabolism of nutrients in the body, which in turn leads to the occurrence of diabetes.
In addition, excessive stress triggers a disorder of body function. White-collar women are often physically and mentally exhausted at work, with high work pressure and mood swings, which leads to a large amount of secretion of stress hormones such as adrenaline in the body, which further affects the release of insulin, leading to increased insulin resistance and eventually diabetes.
In the face of the above problems, as an experienced veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, I suggest that these female white-collar workers who are usually ultra-self-disciplined and exercise for a long time should adjust their lifestyles and take scientific methods to protect their health. In terms of diet, we should pay attention to the diversity of nutrition, reasonably consume foods containing various nutrients such as fiber, protein, and fat, and avoid foods high in sugar, salt, and fat. In terms of exercise, aerobic exercise should be done moderately, such as jogging, swimming, etc., to avoid damage to the body caused by excessive exercise. In addition, for women who are under too much pressure at work, they should learn to relax themselves, maintain a good attitude, and pay attention to physical and mental health.
In short, the inadvertent detection of diabetes by female white-collar workers who are usually ultra-self-disciplined and exercise for a long time is not just an accidental coincidence, but is closely related to factors such as unreasonable diet, excessive exercise, and excessive stress. By adjusting your lifestyle, eating a reasonable diet, exercising moderately, and maintaining a good attitude, you can reduce the risk of diabetes and promote good health. For those women who have been diagnosed with diabetes, it is recommended to actively cooperate with the doctor** and TCM conditioning.
