SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE, ERRATIC EATING HABITS MAKING YOUNG SICK, SAY DOCS

LUCKNOW: : While many people still find work from home to be more ideal and prefer it over going to office, there is a flipside to the working style that became popular during the pandemic.

Experts say the work from home (WFH) policy has only made people more sedentary and, worse, disrupted their eating habit. This, perhaps, could be the reason why cases of diabetes among people as young as in their 20s are increasing.

Pitching for a healthy worklife balance, Dr Kauser Usman, a senior faculty at King George’s Medical University, Lucknow, said: “Even after Covid restrictions are over, companies, particular in some sectors, still have the WFH policy. This is perhaps the reason for the rising cases of diabetes among people between 30 and 40 years. Professionals must learn to have a good work and life balance,” he said .
