Sneezing, coughing, headache... Why do you get sick every holiday?

 

Ha Cho! Every time I have a cold during the holidays, I feel that I have to take a hard time off. I have to have a good rest at home. But we all know that when the pressure is high, the immune system will be affected and the immune system will be reduced. But why on earth is it just when you relax that you get sick?




How did you get sick on weekends?


"Weekend sickness" is definitely not a pleasant thing. If you are at home, you will feel that your vacation has been ruined. If you happen to travel, you must feel that your travel expenses have been wasted. The concept of weekend sickness was put forward by ad vingerhoets, a psychology professor at Tilburg University in the Netherlands. In a study in 2002, he investigated 1900 people by means of an autonomous questionnaire whether they were easy to get sick on weekends and holidays. About 60 of them had such a situation.




In a 2015 British study, it was also mentioned that there might be headache, constipation, stomachache and heart disease due to disordered work and rest on weekends, because they usually live too regularly and indulge themselves during holidays, and as a result, they can't support themselves.




After that, many scientists tried to put forward a medical explanation, and found that it may be because we are more likely to come into contact with germs in different areas when we are on holiday. These germs are beyond our knowledge of immunity, so we are easy to get sick.




However, there is no way to explain why some people will get sick when they are on holiday at home. Some scientists have also put forward the view that it is due to the relaxation of immunity. However, many studies have shown that stress can cause the decline of immunity. Why do we get sick only when we relax our pressure?




Different interaction between adrenaline and cortisol


Lin Lihan, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in changshengtang TCM clinic, said that there are two reasons why people are easy to get sick during holidays. The first one is really related to laxity. The second one is that they do not exercise restraint during holidays. For example, they start to stay up late, eat and drink, and ice cream with chicken chops. Of course, it will make the body uncomfortable.




When you relax during the holiday, you will feel the pain and fatigue of the original stress. Lin Lihan said that when you are under great pressure, your body will secrete adrenaline to resist illness. At this time, immunity will rise temporarily and resist infection. At the same time, when the pressure is high, the adrenal gland will also secrete cortisol, which can quickly generate energy, but cortisol Instead, it's a factor that reduces immunity.




Too high cortisol will lead to disordered regulation of the body's endocrine and reduce immunity. The longer the secretion lasts, the more immunity will drop. When relaxed, epinephrine will quickly return to the original standard, but it will take a relatively long time for cortisol to decline. The cross phase of these two endocrine systems will result in the continuous decline of immunity and the disease will naturally accumulate The pain comes out.




However, if you can moderately regulate the stress and keep the endocrine at a normal level, there is certainly not much chance of getting "weekend sickness". Therefore, we should pay attention to maintaining a regular life and a happy mood regardless of work or holiday.

Diabetes must lose weight! Fat and insulin resistance are cancer risk factors

  "I went back to the clinic today, and my blood sugar was well controlled! For diabetics, the happiest thing is to see that their blood sugar level is normal, and many people regard blood sugar control as their only goal. Of course, controlling blood sugar is very important, but after controlling blood sugar, many people may find that they are getting fatter and fatter, and the risk of cancer will increase. Why do you get diabetes and get fat As we all know, diabetes has a symptom of "rapid weight loss", but as the disease is controlled by medication, it will start to become fat again. It turns out that when the blood sugar is soaring, the body can't convert the blood sugar into the energy it needs through insulin, so it will choose to burn the protein and fat stored originally, resulting in becoming thinner; after the medication is controlled, the body can use the blood sugar smoothly and return to the state of storing fat. However, there is a problem when fat come...
