Many men today neglect dietary hygiene, smoke heavily, and drink excessively. Combined with demanding work schedules that disrupt eating patterns, this leads to various health issues. White-collar men are particularly prone to multiple illnesses.
What diseases are common among white-collar men?
1. Gastric Disorders
The incidence of gastric disorders is increasingly affecting younger individuals, particularly men. Habitual smoking and drinking, coupled with demanding work schedules that disrupt regular eating patterns, can lead to symptoms like stomach pain, discomfort, nausea, vomiting, and heartburn. Without timely treatment, these issues may progress to gastric ulcers, gastritis, or gastric hemorrhage.Gastric disorders are stubborn conditions requiring long-term care to alleviate physical discomfort.
2. Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Diseases
Rising too early can be detrimental to heart health. Waking between 5:00 AM and 7:20 AM increases levels of substances in the blood that contribute to heart disease. Combined with the rushed nature of many white-collar workers' mornings, this further heightens the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular incidents. Aim to wake up around 7:30 AM and rise slowly.
3. Low Libido
Low libido stems from multiple factors: high work stress, excessive physical fatigue, psychological issues, etc. For men, this condition not only diminishes quality of life but also strains marital relationships.
4. Hair Loss
Over 70% of men over 30 experience hair loss, primarily due to excessive oil secretion, genetics, and physical exhaustion. Men experiencing hair loss should take it seriously and promptly undergo endocrine testing at a hospital to prevent alopecia areata.
5. Dry Eye Syndrome
Office workers who spend prolonged hours facing computer screens are exposed to blue light emitted by monitors, which severely damages the retina. Combined with intense concentration that reduces blinking frequency, this decreases tear production, causing eye discomfort and potentially leading to dry eye syndrome.
6. Lung Cancer
Some men turn to smoking to alleviate boredom or loneliness. Combined with exposure to polluted air, this significantly increases lung cancer risk. Men experiencing persistent coughing, bloody phlegm, or yellowing teeth should seek prompt medical attention for lung examinations. Prioritize deep breathing in fresh air environments.
Friendly Reminder
Office workers should minimize prolonged sitting. After every hour of work, stand and walk for ten minutes, gaze at distant greenery, or perform eye exercises. Stay hydrated, avoid overexertion, manage stress, maintain proper posture, and seek massage therapy at reputable traditional Chinese medicine clinics for back or neck discomfort.
