Preventing “overwork death”

In recent years, the news media reported about the sudden death of prominent people due to excessive fatigue or lead to the deterioration of physical deterioration of incurable diseases and premature death, not occasionally one or two, people have seen it all the time. The “old” adage that “the body is the capital of the revolution” seems to be rather ignored by modern people who are driven by the high pressure of life. In order to prevent the recurrence of this phenomenon of death due to overwork – the phenomenon of overwork death – psychologists and medical doctors have conducted a series of studies. Among them, Dr. Tetsuo Ueshiro, director of the Japanese Institute of Public Health, has researched and discovered 27 symptoms of overwork and the factors that trigger overwork death. If we pay attention to and grasp these conditions, we can reduce and avoid overwork death. These 27 overwork symptoms and factors are as follows: 1.Frequent fatigue, memory loss and forgetfulness. 2, a sudden decline in alcohol consumption, even if drinking alcohol does not feel the taste of the past. 3.Suddenly have a sense of aging. 4.A sense of numbness in the shoulders and neck. 5.Insomnia due to fatigue and boredom, and difficulty sleeping. 6.Inconsolable and easily irritated by the slightest thing. 7.Frequent headache and chest tightness. 8.After examination, high blood pressure, diabetes, and abnormal ECG test results are found. 9.Sudden weight gain or loss, with large changes. 10.Drink alcohol almost every night and consume a considerable amount of alcohol. 11.To rely on coffee for refreshment, drink more than 5 cups of coffee every day. 12, often skip breakfast or meal times are not fixed. 13, like to eat fried food. 14, smoking more than 30 cigarettes a day. 15, work until 10:00 pm to go home, or after 12:00 pm to go home more than half. 16, commuting time of more than 2 hours each way. 17.Lack of sweating exercise in recent years. 18.Self-perception of good health and neglect of physical examination. 19.Working more than 10 hours a day. 20.Working overtime on Sundays or other days that should be off. 21.Often travel and stay at home at most two to three days a week. 22.Many night shifts, no regular working hours. 23.Recently had a job transfer or job type change. 24.Getting a promotion or other reasons due to increased workload. 25.Sudden increase in overtime hours since recently. 26.Sudden deterioration of interpersonal relationship. 27.Recently had a work-related mistake. If you have more than 7 of the above 27 symptoms and factors, you are at risk of overwork; if you have more than 10, you are likely to die from overwork at any time. Even for those who do not account for 7 items, those who account for 2 or more of items 1 to 9 or 3 or more of items 10 to 18 should pay special attention. As you can see from the above overwork symptoms and factors, the majority of them are caused by life stress and psychological reasons (such as deterioration of interpersonal relationships, irritability over the slightest thing, easy anger, etc.) and symptoms caused by these factors (for example, unpleasant moods may lead to alcohol abuse, heavy smoking, forcible refreshment with coffee, insomnia, etc.). Therefore, checking your life and physical and mental conditions will help you prevent and avoid the excessive impact of life stress and eliminate potential sources of disease, so as to avoid being “overworked”, the “killer” of modern society.
