Overwork: no heart failure can cause you to die

When working too hard, your risk of heart attack will increase very high. But even without heart failure, there are many other factors that can endanger your life.

The question is: why is overworking so dangerous?

What is a death from exhaustion?

In fact, we often use the word "exhausted " quite arbitrarily, without knowing that it is a really serious phenomenon.

Do you work, feel tired, and think it is exhaustion? Maybe, but most of the time you just used too much energy. Just sleep for a while, you will feel your body refreshing again. Just a vacation, things can return to normal.

Excessive work, no matter how long they sleep, they still feel mentally exhausted, where the energy disappears.

People who work to the point of harming their lives are different. The difference is that no matter how long they sleep, they still feel mentally exhausted, where the energy disappears. This condition will lead to psychological illnesses, so the consequences are extremely serious.

In Japan, people have the phrase Karōshi. In China, it is guolaosi, and in Korea is gwarosa. All three phrases mean " working to death" , or more briefly than labor.

This means that people can actually die from overwork, and that phenomenon is really popular when it exists everywhere in the world.

Stress is actually the body's vital response, however .

When faced with pressure - whether from life or work - our bodies will have the same reaction. The heart rate increases, the breath is fast, the brain falls into a "beat or run" state , pushing the concentration to the highest level to protect yourself.

Overworked, recovery reactions will be bottled, or malfunctioning.

With stress, the biological functions in your body are pushed harder, giving you the energy to survive, to face unnamed "threats" in life.

And when tension passes, the body gradually reacts to recovery. The heartbeat will stabilize, the muscles will gradually relax, and you will return to normal.

However, that is only a short-term effect. And when working too hard - that is, the body is always in a state of stress, it is an unspeakable danger, because the recovery reaction will be bottled, or trouble.

For example, your heart rate recovery mechanism is problematic, meaning your heart will not be able to slow down. It puts tremendous pressure on the heart, putting you at risk of heart attack at any time.

The most serious effect is that it causes your immune system to become disordered.

Another harm is mental exhaustion, because the brain constantly has to strain. It leads to physical fatigue, then related diseases such as depression, insomnia, affecting productivity .

And in particular, the most serious effect is that it causes your immune system to become disordered. When working too hard, every disease can cause you to collapse. You will be more susceptible to disease, the disease will be more difficult to heal, so that when you realize and stop it is too late.

Remember, whatever the job is, no matter where the benefits are, there is a need to stop. What much money to do when you can't spend it, right?
