Are Working People Exhausted And Constipated? This Taste Of Cistanche Deserticola Saves Lives

The dilemma of "exhaustion" for migrant workers
​​In this fast-paced era, as workers, we are like machines that have been wound up, running frantically on the track of work every day. Sitting at the desk for a long time, my buttocks seem to be stuck with 502 glue, and I sit for several hours at a time. The body is not receiving sufficient activity, muscles gradually become stiff, and the spine is silently protesting. ​
My daily routine and diet are completely irregular. Breakfast is often skipped due to a rush, lunch is just a few bites, and dinner is wolfed down after overtime. Sometimes when I'm busy and don't even have time to drink water, I only think of taking a few big sips when I'm so thirsty. Work pressure also follows closely, with project deadlines approaching, strict demands from bosses, and competition among colleagues, all of which make us feel anxious and exhausted.
