However, watching football is fun, but you should also be careful about health problems.

What is "World Cup Syndrome"?

The so-called "World Cup Syndrome" is actually a common name, not a standardized medical term. It reflects the comprehensive manifestation of a series of discomfort symptoms in the body caused by staying up late to watch football, involving the nervous, digestive, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, which has a great negative impact on the body.

Psychologically and spiritually, the World Cup makes many fans excited. They pay a lot of attention to their favorite teams and spend a lot of energy, physical strength and time. This process is similar to a "psychological gamble". The mind is completely tied to the favorite team and players, and a vicarious resonance is formed for success and failure. Especially when the results do not develop as expected, people will feel a strong sense of frustration. As the event progresses, these negative emotions are like a fully loaded box with wheels, with huge psychological inertia, making it difficult for people to get rid of them during the World Cup and even for a period of time after it ends.

In terms of the body, the health problems caused by World Cup syndrome mainly include the following:

Cardiovascular disease

The two main causes are excessive emotional fluctuations while watching football games and changes in work and rest schedules and staying up late.

Gastrointestinal disorders

It is a habit for most football fans to eat or drink while watching football, but this puts a heavy burden on the stomach and intestines, and can easily induce diseases such as gastroenteritis and cholecystitis.

Respiratory diseases

It is easy to get excited when watching a game, and the body tends to get hot after drinking. It is easy to catch a cold if you take off your clothes at this time, which may lead to some respiratory diseases.

Cerebrovascular disease

For older fans, cases of cerebrovascular accidents are not uncommon due to changes in work and rest schedules and mood swings. Therefore, elderly fans with underlying diseases should be taken seriously.

In addition, emotional excitement, shouting, and excessive concentration on the game while watching the game may also lead to unhappiness with family members or even deterioration of relationships. This is also one of the potential risks brought about by World Cup syndrome. Fans should pay more attention to it.

How to watch football in a healthy way?

Reduce staying up late

There are 12 match days in the 2022 World Cup group stage, with four matches played every day. The matches will kick off at 13:00, 16:00, 19:00 and 22:00 local time (18:00, 21:00, 0:00 and 3:00 the next day, Beijing time). Fans can try to choose the match time they want to watch the most, avoid staying up late, and use lunch breaks and other time to catch up on sleep when not watching the match.

Keep at room temperature

This year's World Cup falls in the cold season. In order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease caused by low temperature, we should pay attention to adjusting the indoor temperature, especially in cities without central heating. For young people, it is recommended that the room temperature be around 24°C, and for the elderly, it should not be lower than 26°C.

Eat a healthy diet

For midnight snacks, choose light and easily digestible food. It is not recommended to eat barbecue, hot pot, fried food and other oily and spicy food. It is not recommended to drink alcohol, cold drinks and other foods that irritate the gastrointestinal tract and increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. In daily diet, eat more fruits, vegetables, nuts and other foods that supplement vitamins and dietary fiber.

Maintain correct sitting posture

Especially for fans suffering from cervical and lumbar diseases, they should pay more attention to choosing the correct sitting posture, getting up and moving around regularly, and avoiding sitting for long periods of time to induce diseases.

Strengthen your exercise

During the halftime break, you can do some simple indoor exercises, such as sit-ups, push-ups, etc. You can also do some eye exercises to relieve eye fatigue; during the game, you can stand against the wall or lift your legs on the seat. In addition, you should develop good living habits, strengthen exercise, enhance physical fitness, and reduce the possibility of disease.

When watching the World Cup at night, be alert to factors that induce cardiovascular diseases, such as smoking, drinking, staying up late, and overeating, and be careful of various cardiovascular emergencies such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, holiday syndrome, hypertensive crisis, sudden cardiac death, and other heart diseases. Although the World Cup is fun to watch, it is not worth it if you develop "World Cup syndrome".

During the World Cup, Chinese fans switch to "World Cup time" and it is inevitable to stay up late to watch the game. Therefore, we encourage fans to take care of their bodies and watch the game rationally .
