Nine bad dining habits of white-collar workers
Latest Updated by 2003-07-01 16:57:45

1. Skipping breakfast

Skipping breakfast can cause severe harm to your stomach, lower your work efficiency and reduce your life span. Research conducted by a foreign university among 7,000 people shows that few people who miss breakfast enjoy a long life, while another survey among people aged 80 to 90 shows that all of them have a good breakfast each day.

2. Having a rich supper

Rich suppers can make you fat. This is because the content of insulin in the blood is the highest in the evening, and insulin turns blood sugar into fat. Rich suppers also upset biorhythms and can cause insomnia.

3. Excessive coffee

Drinking too much coffee can cause a lot of problems. First, it lowers the chance of becoming pregnant; second, it can cause heart disease, because the caffeine in coffee can influence the function of the heart and increase cholesterol in the blood. Thirdly, it can lower work efficiency. Drinking moderate amounts of coffee can give you a lift, but drinking more than five cups of coffee at a time will lower your understanding ability.

4. Raw food

Raw mullet, sashimi, snake, tortoise and crab, all of which frequently appear on dining tables of white collar workers, are susceptible to parasites. Eating them can cause diseases.

5. Smoking after dinner

Smoking after dinner can increase the accessibility of poisonous substances in tobacco to human bodies. An after-dinner cigarette enables access of poisonous substance 10 times that of a pre-dinner cigarette.

6. Making tea with a thermos mug

If you soak tea leaves in hot water for long time, the vitamins in the leaves will be destroyed and tannic acid and theine will seep out in large amounts. It’s better to make tea with water at about 80 degrees Celsius.

7. Too much alcohol

Drinking too much alcohol can damage your liver and your urogenital system.

8. Having fruit as main food

If you have fruit as main food, you will suffer from malnutrition. Although fruit is rich in vitamins and sugar, it does not provide protein and some microelements that are essential to human bodies.

9. Insufficient water

White collar workers often forget to drink water because they are busy at work. However, water shortage in human bodies will increase the density of blood and cause problems with blood vessels.

WELL-EDUCATED office ladies and gentlemen may know what to eat to build a good body, but not everyone has good dining habits. Here below are some of the bad habits pointed out by experts.
