Job Duties and Physical Responses
    #23654070 - 09/17/16 08:22 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

I used to work a job as a first line quality inspector on the factory floor. I recently earned a promotion to a desk job.

On the floor I had to walk all the time and seek out errors. The walking was a lot for three 14 hour days.

Upstairs I seek out errors, but I use more critical thinking skills -- of course while sitting at a desk.

I wonder, does a person walking compare to a person who is solving a difficult mental task. That is, I wonder how much sugar we use during difficult mental tasks. Do our meals digest similarly, and our sugar is dispensed differently?

What do you think?

TBH  it's not like a QA floor person is getting great exercise from the start, but of course moving upstairs you are going to get less exercise, and be subject to benefits that will make you fatter and lazier.  You've got to exercise out of work, even when you're mentally tired.

Well, I was just using myself as an example.

But quite literally, how much sugar do our brains call for during difficult mental tasks? I wonder if it compares to walking.

It's like asking how many calories you burn when you sleep.  Couple hundred per day maybe?  How hard do you think about measurements and tolerances and all that?  Does it make you sweat?

OP, I literally have the same job as you. I'm a quality engineer. We make plastic car parts and our quality is really shitty. No, I don't think brains use more energy when you're thinking harder. You're always thinking and probably using the same amount of energy.

I'm the guy who does setups and tries to convince QA, "no this is good enough to send to our customers" :highfive:

Every single person I know over 40 with a desk job is obese with various health problems due to being sedentary.

Most people with desk jobs, sit at a desk all day, then go home and sit in front of a television all night. = Not good

This may be true but someone at a desk job needs to get up and stretch every hour or so and not sit like a stone for 8 hours.

Bring a healthy home made lunch instead of any convenient unhealthy alternative, and walk home instead of a transportable seat automobile.

Or cycle if the distance is too far.

Or drive to a park and do a few laps before you get home.

There's no excuse really.

It is a nice thought, but once sedentary always sedentary, especially after 40,, at least in my personal experience.

They eat like shit, 3 huge meals a day and snacking throughout the day.  Then when diagnosed with cardiovascular / heart disease, diabetes, etc, they all go on all these medications but not change their lifestyle one bit, the medications just prolongs the disease from killing them.  It is sad to see so many friends on this path.  :frown:

I gained a little weight when I switched from a warehouse job to a desk job.

But there's alot in play there. The body does not like to be still for so long. Not alot you can do at a desk and not look rediculous. So when I switched I ate alot more during the day, just to have something to do. To be fair the position I was in at the time was very menial and mind numbing. I sat and sulked alot too. Doing more challenging and interesting work now. It's better but sitting long hours is nearly as destructive on my old lady body as walking 12 miles a day on concrete floors. Nah scratch that. Its worse on some things but its not half as taxing
