Stress builds up in your system, eventually weakening it. You would see the effects slowly taking its toll on you mentally, physically and sometimes emotionally. When you’re doing overtime at office and spending long hours studying or completing assignments, it has a way of striking you mentally (e.g. stiff neck, headaches, watery/red and sore/strained eyes). When you lack recreation or don’t take care of yourself, your body tends to ‘breakdown’, because there’s no room for the trapped negativities to escape.
Inactivity, especially when you are a sedentary worker--all you do is sit most of the time working, e.g. typing on the computer and/or hunched while writing something important on a few sheets of paper. The only time you get up and start walking is when you need to go to the lavatory. At times, you tend to hold it in a little longer. This is a very bad practice. It affects the urinary tract causing bacterial infection or stones in the bladder.
Never take to mind that the lack of water in your body will cause you to dehydrate and the apparent result will be headaches. It’s alright to go on an overdrive once in a while but almost everyday will upset your system in a big way. You won’t get ill immediately. But, when it comes, you’ll feel as though you’ve been hit by a truck. Not a nice feeling, that’s for sure!
Another instance of adrenalin rush, if you deprive your body of sustenance for twenty-four hours, the result is hunger. Hunger causes your blood sugar to drop and places stress on your adrenal glands, triggering your sympathetic nervous system. It can result in everything from light-headedness to anxiety and fatigue. I’ve seen and heard many co-workers in those said departments and a few fellow students having problems, such as high blood pressure and acute heartburn before age thirty. I’m one of those people who would often skip lunch and not going to the lavatory because of work. In the end, I was clinically declared unfit because I was always suffering from stomach discomfort, flatulence and heartburn.
It could get very messy when your system’s down, e.g. you could get a bad case of flu or relapses of it, gastrointestinal problems like flatulence, acidity, stomach discomfort like cramps, indigestion, or worse cases, ulcers. Others include putting on weight (when you deprive yourself food, you’ll tend to eat more then your usual consumption). If you sit too long, you’ll get lower backaches, crouching too long writing / typing will end up having tensed muscles, shoulder aches, joint pains, carpal syndrome, etc. It means in all likelihood your emotions too would be taking a dive for the worse. Your battered condition slumps you into depression, your movements sluggish, your morale low and you start to hate everything and everyone including yourself. The mental, or physical and/or emotional agony you are experiencing is your body telling you to stop abusing it.
It’s time for you to rectify the damage you’ve caused with healthy remedies either clinical or traditional. Take time to enervate your battered well-being. Do the things (e.g. go for weekend nature trips to the beach / Taman Negara / Ulu Yam, etc. with family or friends) that would bring joy or serenity into your hectic life. A hectic lifestyle is not stylish. It’s actually no life at all.
Life is about living. And the continuation for survival is what makes life worth living. Is it worth a four digit or more salary only to be diagnosed having acute coronary disease or something more devastating by the time you reached your prime (40s). I don’t think so. Yet, there’s this unsinkable feeling in your guts telling you that you’re never too young to die. Unless…
Take a good look around you, at the working conditions or environment and colleagues. Have you taken a good look at yourself in the mirror lately? I mean, really stare at yourself. What do you see? Are you a picture of glowing health or you can be mistaken as a mummy come back to life? The principle to take to heart is when you are healthy there lies your wealth!
A healthy mind lies in a healthy body.
