Upper Arm Fat-Is Your Work Causing It?
Did you know that poor work conditions can lead to more upper arm fat? Although this may sound ridiculous, research has shown this to be true.
We know this because of some exhaustive research done in the UK. This research demonstrated that too much stress at work is related to poor nutrition, less activity and more fat!
So here is what to look out for at your job:
1. Lack of control. Not being in control is a primary cause of work related stress. And the stress causes your body to secrete hormones which lead to more arm fat accumulation.
2. Tension. Does your neck get stiff? Do you feel tense? Uptight? Too much tension in the workplace is a recipe for disaster. Seek out a more comfortable environment within your workplace. If this isn’t possible, you may want to start looking…
3. Undefined expectations. Poorly defined work expectations or project expectations can lead to huge amounts of stress. Ask your superiors for more clearly defined goals and tell them that the increased clarity will allow you to get more work done for the company.
4. Your rank. The research from the UK showed that lower ranking jobs lead to more weight gain. So if you are stuck in a lower ranking position, seek out other activities in which you can be more dominant. Perhaps you have a latent talent or hobby you have forgotten about.
5. Having a mono-identity. Don’t let your work define who you are. When things are going good you will feel good. But anytime something goes bad you will get flooded with all those stress hormones. Subjecting yourself to this emotional roller coaster is unnecessary.
Unfortunately, there is only so much you can do here. If your job is becoming a true nightmare despite all your efforts, you may have to find a different workplace. If this isn’t possible within your company, you may have to find a different job! Then you may notice that the upper arm fat comes off a little easier!
