Research says frequent travel is detrimental to health: the probability of having high blood pressure is 92% higher
On August 13th, the Western media reported that if people are on vacation, it may be exciting to fly to another corner of the world. However, if the mission of this trip is to visit customers, negotiate business or do an interview, then people may only feel nervous. Being able to visit multiple countries in a few days may be a lifelong dream for many people, but it is not so good for business trips, and may even bring some health problems. Changes in daily habits and sleep cycles, as well as lack of healthy exercise, can cause problems in physical and mental health.
According to the Spanish "National News" website reported on August 9, when planning business trips, many companies' health plans include vaccination, providing information about avoiding eating diseases and issuing social and political turmoil alerts. But some of the more common threats to physical and mental health are often overlooked, such as stress, sleep disorders, unhealthy diets, and lack of exercise. They are all common side effects of business trips. In the long run, these problems will increase the risk of a pregnant person suffering from a chronic disease.
According to the report, the above is the conclusion of a study conducted by Andrew Lendl, associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Columbia's Melman School of Public Health, on the relationship between business and mental health. His main research interests are sedentary lifestyles and the risks and consequences of obesity, but his own experience has made him want to pay attention to the health effects of business travel.
Graphic and unrelated
According to the report, a few years ago, when he was on a business trip to a hotel and registered for a meeting, Lendl asked the receptionist about the place to eat, but was told that there was no restaurant in the hotel. The only option was a fast food chain nearby. “I had to eat pizza all day. So when I got home, I started collecting information about business trips and health,†Lendl said.
The epidemiologist and colleagues collected a number of anonymous medical registration data from a consulting firm called Environmental Health and Engineering.
The research team led by Lendl compares people who stay up to 6 nights a month and compares with people who stay 14 nights or more. The latter has a higher body mass index score and is more prone to anxiety, depression and alcohol dependence. In addition, they have fewer fitness activities and it is more difficult to fall asleep. People who stay overnight for 21 nights or more on business trips are 92% more likely to develop obesity and high blood pressure than others.
The report said that there are other studies supporting the above results. A study of World Bank employee insurance claims shows that frequent travellers are more likely to claim chronic diseases such as mild illness and asthma and back problems. But more common claims are related to symptoms caused by stress. In fact, another World Bank study found that nearly 75% of employees reported high-pressure or extremely high-pressure psychological conditions associated with business travel.
Therefore, companies should actively improve this situation. Experts suggest that the company's travel dates should be more flexible and develop more specific health plans for employees, so that employees on business trips are aware of the risks of being in another city, hotel accommodation, eating too fast and lack of sleep. Companies also need to consider flight times and cannot ignore the time difference. In addition, resting on the plane instead of working is more beneficial to employee health.
According to the report, maintaining a healthy diet may be the most complicated task for people on business trips. A number of studies have shown that food in restaurants has more calories and fat than home-cooked foods, and fewer fibers. In addition, stress can also influence and hinder travellers from choosing healthy foods because stress often makes them want to eat more calories.
