Today’s working world is characterized by constant progress. Who doesn’t know it – the smartphone rings non-stop, the number of e-mails in the inbox increases, one appointment follows the next and you are almost permanently available. Digitization in particular increases the pressure to perform and to continuously adapt to changes. Especially when a heavy workload rests on one’s shoulders, physical warning signals are often ignored. You’re probably wondering why this is a men’s health issue. Simply because men are affected differently here by common stereotypes<\/a> than women, who struggle with stereotypes of their own. Here in this article, we want to focus on men’s health and intentionally create visibility that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The availability of drugs for cognitive performance enhancement is particularly tempting nowadays due to the low-threshold procurement structure. However, such drugs are often associated with side effects such as cardiac arrhythmias, anxiety and addiction. In addition, it is becoming increasingly challenging to find a balance between artificially generated productivity and regeneration. In order to achieve phases of recovery, the existing tension must first be relieved, with many sufferers turning to alcohol, hashish or other sedatives to speed up the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By skipping a conscious upstream relaxation phase, there is a danger that a real recovery cannot take place. The result is often a very high level of psychological stress, burnout, or even resorting to appropriate preparations in order to relax or recover more quickly. The after-work beer to come down is only one example of this, which is socially recognized. The danger here lies not in the one beer, but in the toxic cycle and a lack of healthy coping strategies. It is therefore important to be aware of one’s own behavior patterns, to reinforce healthy aspects (e.g., sports, community, art) and to avoid negative methods (e.g., addiction, substance abuse). The goal is to proactively respond to individual circumstances and consciously work on both external and internal factors – always focusing on one’s own health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
