Mentally Tiring is Higher Risks of Developing Diabetes
Is your work mentally tiring?? If yes, you could be at higher risks of developing diabetes.
📌 According to research published in the European Journal of Endocrinology, found that performing mentally tiring work raises the diabetes risk by a whopping 21%!!! 😣😩
📌 Researchers analyzed data from 73,517 women, most of whom were teachers. They found there was a higher type 2 diabetes risk for women with “very mentally tiring work” when compared to women with “little or no mentally tiring work.”
The analysis also revealed that the diabetes risk was “independent of unhealthy lifestyle and traditional metabolic factors.” If you have a stressful job, there are a number of things you can do to find greater balance in your life and reduce the burden or workplace demands. Here are a few:
🧡 Breathe deeply or meditate. Research in the medical journal Psychiatry Research shows that meditation affects the flow of blood to the brain and alters brain activity to be more relaxed.
🧡 Drink green tea. Studies show that green tea is a good source of L-theanine. L-theanine, commonly found in green tea, provides strong calming effects and can be used to combat anxiety and stress.
Note: I find 👉 Chamoment to be especially relaxing and good for my sleep quality. Plus, I know it's super safe with over 2,000 types of tests on microbes, pesticides, heavy metals, and etc..
🧡 Say ‘NO’. Trying to be a superhero by saying “YES” to everyone and every thing around you won’t help your stress levels. Learn to say “NO” to social or other types of obligations that sap your strength.
🧡 Stop skipping meals. Skipping meals or going lengthy times without eating (more than a few hours) can cause your blood sugar levels to drop to unhealthy levels, which makes you feel more stressed-out, moody and irritable.
Even a quick snack, particularly nuts or seeds can help regulate blood sugar levels.
