Top 5 professions dangerous to the heart and blood vessels

Some overweight people and problems with the cardiovascular system blame it for their sweet tooth, some blame a sedentary lifestyle, but it turned out that there is something else that negatively affects the heart and waist size.

Scientists from the American Heart Association (AKA) have found that people in certain professions are at greater risk of developing obesity and heart and blood vessel problems.

In order to understand this, scientists examined 5.5 thousand people over 45 years old. They measured blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol, were questioned about diet, addiction to smoking and checked for obesity.

Here are the top 5 professions that can be a problem for your heart (and your waist).

5. Managers, lawyers, physicians, accountants and businessmen

The healthiest professionals in this study. They go to the gym regularly enough and 75% of respondents are considered at least moderately active. One third of the subjects had an ideal body weight. And rarely you will find a manager who smokes with a client outside the office. It is not surprising that only 6% of respondents are smokers. But many representatives of these professions are not averse to tasting fast food.

4. Culinary specialists

It's funny, but true: people who work with food often themselves have bad eating habits. This is evidenced by AKA research data. About 75% of cooks are overweight

3. Movers

The most smokers in the ranking of dangerous professions for the heart. Almost a quarter of AKA experts surveyed “smoke like steam locomotives,” which does not contribute to lung health or the good state of the cardiovascular system.

2. Police officers and firefighters

People who are responsible for our safety often cannot protect their heart from illness. In order to serve in the police, one must meet strict standards, including physical ones, however, 90% of the police participating in the study were obese or overweight, 77% had high cholesterol and 35% had high blood pressure .

Like the police, the valiant fire fighters who participated in the study did not differ in fragile physique.

1. Sellers and entrepreneurs

The vast majority of sellers in this study seem to sell their health better than products. Of the total number examined, 68% showed bad eating habits, and 69% had significantly increased cholesterol. So they are likely to receive an instructive lecture from a cardiologist.

As for entrepreneurs, they neglect the gym, and only 20.8% of the subjects regularly engage in physical activity. After all, work will not wait!

Earlier studies have shown that a number of professions that are on the “unhealthy list” require people to do shift work, sleep little, and contribute to high levels of stress. A lack of sleep and frequent unrest can lead to malnutrition, the desire to drink more and smoke.

The authors of the study did not just report the negative consequences of different professions. At the same time, they proposed simple steps to prevent obesity and heart disease.

  1. Make yourself a healthy lunch and take it to work, instead of running to the nearest cafe at lunchtime.
  2. If possible, prefer a staircase to the elevator.
  3. Set aside half your lunch for an hour and go for a walk.
