The iron shoulder carries the righteousness, the wonderful hand writes the article. Journalists are often called the “uncrowned king”, but behind this glamorous scene, there is a huge health crisis. According to statistics, journalists are among the world’s high-risk, low-life occupations. Mr. Zhang is a social news reporter for a Beijing metropolitan newspaper, and at 27 years old, he looks 10 years older than his actual age. In his words to describe his state of life is: get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, eat worse than a pig, do more than a donkey ……, although it is a joke, but it can be seen that he is in a long-term full-load high-pressure state. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. The “uncrowned king” is not so good as to be, behind the halo of honor is a variety of health risks. “It’s true that I’m a bit tired. The reporter’s health is not so good. Long-term in a high-pressure state of full load, life is irregular, to the journalist’s body and mind brought great damage. Gastrointestinal disease, cervical spondylosis, chronic lumbar strain, cardiovascular disease has almost become an occupational disease of journalists, overdraft health has become the biggest problem of journalists. “Recently, I have seen a lot of news about the premature death of media people, and my heart is quite heavy.” Zhang said it’s time for media people to pay attention to their health. According to a recent survey conducted by a Chinese authority on journalists’ health, the average age of journalists who died of illness since 1995 was only 45.7 years old. The survey also showed that the average age of journalists who were hospitalized due to illnesses caused by overwork was 44.2 years old, and half of the journalists were in a state of illness. Cervical and lumbar spine disease “cervical and lumbar spine now have problems, as well as mouse hand”. Sometimes the pain can not go to the blind massage, because there is really no time to go to the hospital. According to Mr. Zhang, his situation is not an isolated case. “The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. In the long run, it will increase the risk of cervical spondylosis or lumbar disc herniation.” As long as the reasonable response, the above problems can be completely solved. First, maintain a reasonable sitting posture at work, and pay attention to intermittent changes in position, so that the paravertebral muscles get rest at the right time. Second, spare time to adhere to regular exercise, more swimming, jogging, or small swallow fly and other items that help strengthen the lumbar back muscles. Sudden death “One of my college classmates never woke up after coming home from the newspaper, not yet married, it’s really sobering.” Mr. Zhang looked gloomy. In recent years, there has been a spate of sudden deaths or “overwork deaths” of public figures. According to statistics, millions of people around the world lose their lives due to sudden death every year, more than 50% of sudden death are sudden cardiac death, and about 550,000 people in China have sudden cardiac death (Sudden Cardiac Death, SCD) every year. Most of the young adults who die from “overwork” have latent cardiovascular disease, but they are probably unaware of it. Overwork is the trigger for the onset of the disease. People suffering from coronary heart disease, aortic aneurysm, vascular lesions, heart disease, blood pressure is very susceptible to emotional and physical fluctuations, high pressure, exertion will inevitably lead to a rapid increase in blood pressure within a short period of time, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the heart, leading to sudden death. If I and my family are not aware of their heart problems, it is likely to be simply judged as “death by overwork”. “For example, a 10 cm long leather band, stretch it to 20 cm, even 10,000 times will not break; but stretch it to 40 cm, once broken. So is life.” Zu Lingyun said. So how to prevent this aspect of the tragedy occurred? To prevent this tragedy need to do the following: ① regular physical examination: generally once a year to carry out a physical examination, blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids and other important indicators and electrocardiogram screening, prevention before it is too late; ② timely consultation: general heart disease have some early symptoms, such as chest tightness, chest pain, decreased exercise endurance, and breathing difficulties, etc., in short, once there are similar symptoms best not careless, timely to ③High-risk screening: even if there is no discomfort, if immediate family members have sudden cardiac death or coronary heart disease (male relatives before 55 years old / female relatives before 65 years old with coronary heart disease), or their own patients suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, obesity or smoking need to pay more attention, if necessary, to the cardiology department for simple screening of heart disease; ④Change of life: many journalists friends Late to bed, late to rise, irregular diet, stay up late writing, smoking, sedentary, mental stress and other life characteristics, these lifestyles are very bad for the heart, lack of sleep, smoking and mental stress may cause hypertension, and damage the endothelial function of blood vessels, is a risk factor for coronary heart disease; and irregular diet, overeating will lead to a large amount of blood to the gastrointestinal transfer, the supply of blood to the heart is relatively reduced, thus aggravating the myocardial ischemia. This aggravates the myocardial ischemia and increases the burden on the heart. If you eat too greasy, too much fat, may also lead to increased blood viscosity, promote the formation of blood clots, leading to myocardial infarction. Gastrointestinal disease “gastrointestinal has been bad,” said Mr. Zhang, when everyone sleeps, I am rushing to the news site, and come back to catch up on the draft. When everyone was working maybe I was sleeping and had breakfast and lunch together. Sometimes work is too busy to eat in time to carry over. Day and night, irregular meals are a common occurrence. Journalists basically have a variety of stomach problems. It is understood that irregular diet, workplace stress can affect the human gastrointestinal tract, thus triggering some gastrointestinal diseases, such as functional diarrhea, gastrointestinal dysfunction, peptic ulcers and so on. It is reported that the incidence of gastrointestinal diseases in the journalist community is 2-3 times higher than that of normal people. Experts believe that the main way to fight gastrointestinal diseases is to pay attention to physical conditioning, usually eat more things that nourish the stomach, such as hot porridge, paste food, cereal, hot milk, etc., and try to eat less irritating curry, chili and wine. If you really need to work and can not eat on time, we should pay attention to the first emergency padding with something, can undertake this task include warm water, porridge, cookies, bread and other easily digestible food. But be careful never to drink cold drinks, as well as eating taro, beef and other hard-to-digest foods. Psychological disorders later on “The daily work is complicated and fast-paced, and after a long time it is easy to be anxious.” Mr. Zhang said, often in the dream was awakened by the phone to be out of site, and sleep at night is not solid. In fact, work for a long time, most media workers will feel great psychological fatigue. Psychologists pointed out that journalists should learn to reduce their own stress and avoid long-term stressful and tiring work. Keep a calm mind at work, communicate more with friends and family, and take regular vacations or gatherings with friends. To have regular psychological assessment, if necessary, receive psychological counseling and treatment.
