Unhealthy Habits Contributing to Weight Gain in White-Collar Women: A Closer Look at Major Cities

January 7, 2024

 

    The average weight of white-collar women is increasing. This is partly due to physiological reasons, but also largely due to bad habits developed in daily life. Below are 5 common bad habits of white-collar women in major cities. See if you belong to any of these categories!

 

    top1: Lazy group

 

    Women, compared to men, have fewer opportunities to engage in physical labor and participate in sports due to their work and daily habits. Especially, most women do not enjoy exercising. The result of long-term lack of exercise is well known!

 

    top2: Snack group

 

    Most women have a habit of snacking, especially white-collar women who work in offices. More than 80% of their working time is spent sitting in front of a computer. Besides typing on the keyboard, they constantly munch on potato chips or chocolate. Due to long hours of sitting and snack consumption, they find their waistlines expanding! Therefore, the most common office figure is localized obesity - a potbelly!

 

    top3: Stress group

 

    Women's social status has been increasingly elevated in today's society. The work they engage in is becoming more and more demanding, even surpassing that of men. Fast-paced life, high work pressure, and long-term tension and depression can cause women to gain weight. Some drugs used to relieve and treat mental stress are also one of the reasons for weight gain in women.

 

    top4: Nightlife group

 

    Many women living in cities nowadays enjoy nightlife, especially during weekends and holidays. As mentioned earlier, the sudden increase in work pressure for modern women has made nightlife a popular way to relax and relieve stress. Frequent nightlife not only disrupts regular daily routines but also develops a bad habit of eating late-night snacks. From a medical perspective, eating late-night snacks can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases, especially increasing the chance of stomach problems. Eating late-night snacks also makes it easier to gain weight. Due to the physiological structure of the body, the nighttime is when the body can most effectively absorb nutrients. If you eat during this time, the food consumed will be more efficiently converted into fat than during the day. According to surveys, 95% of overweight people have the bad habit of eating late-night snacks.

 

    top5: Eating out group

 

    The accelerated pace of urban life has caused many young people to gradually abandon cooking for themselves and instead frequently visit fast food restaurants and other fast-food outlets. In order to save time and for convenience, they often eat nutritionally imbalanced, high saturated fat and high-calorie fast food. Over time, this leads to the accumulation of fat in the body. Along with being overweight, there may also be symptoms of vitamin deficiency due to the lack of a well-rounded diet!
