If you spend your free time (like most Americans and Japanese) doing Sudoku or crossword puzzles, it's time to get rid of this bad habit.
Namely, recent studies have confirmed that filling out Sudoku tables or solving a crossword puzzle can cause weight gain. The results of a study published in the journal Psychology and Health say that people who use their brain activity for mysterious games are wasting energy that they could have invested in exercises. In addition, studies have shown that these people have no desire to exercise at all.
The fact that some people feel completely physically exhausted after solving puzzles, even if they weren't physically involved during the game, sounds terrifying.
"Cognitive tasks can be so exhausting that the desire to train fades into the background. That's why many people have to force themselves to go to the gym after work. Most of them prefer to stay at home," said Canadian professor Kathleen Martin Guinness.
Sudoku is a puzzle whose solution is based on logic. It consists of one large square field divided into 81 smaller squares. You must enter numbers from 1 to 9 in them, but so that no number is repeated in any row, column, or 3x3 square.
Obesity increases the risk of many physical and mental problems. These problems are most often manifested in the form of metabolic syndrome (a combination of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated blood cholesterol, and high triglyceride levels).
Obesity causes complications directly or indirectly through mechanisms with a common cause, such as poor nutrition or a sedentary lifestyle. The strength of the link between obesity and specific problems varies. One of the strongest links is with type 2 diabetes. Excess fat is responsible for 64% of cases of diabetes in men and 77% of cases in women.
The health consequences are divided into two main groups: the consequences associated with the effects of increased fat mass (osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, social stigma), and the consequences associated with an increase in the number of fat cells (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease). An increase in body fat alters the body's response to insulin, which can lead to insulin resistance. The accumulation of fat also leads to an inflammatory and prothrombotic condition.
