In countries with warm climates such as the Mediterranean Sea and Latin America, the lunch break is very long, and many companies even close their doors between 2:00 and 4:00 pm. In order to allow employees to rest during the hottest time of the day, they have the habit of taking a nap. Harvard Medical School in the United States conducted a study on 3,275 citizens in the city of Mocia in southeastern Spain, and found that people who took a long nap in the afternoon had higher waist circumference, fasting blood sugar levels, and blood pressure than those who did not take a nap, and those who did not take a nap were 30 times higher than those who took a nap. minute person.
Harvard Medical School conducted a study on 3,275 citizens of Mocia, Spain, and found that the longer the lunch break, the higher the BMI index, and even higher blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Compared with those who only slept for 30 minutes, they were found to be able to avoid these health risks and have better blood pressure than those who did not nap.
Previously, the United Kingdom had studied the causal relationship between naps and obesity. American researchers therefore went deep into countries with a deeper lunch break culture. For countries like Spain that have regular lunch breaks, they found that the waist circumference, fasting blood sugar levels, systolic blood pressure and The diastolic blood pressure value was also higher than that of the group that did not take a nap, and the group that only slept for 30 minutes had higher health data than the group that did not take a nap.
