Avoid wearing a necktie?

In many professions, a special dress code including a necktie and a collared shirt is mandatory although little is known about the effects of this socially desirable strangulation. In 2018, in a study it was found - neckties could reduce blood flow to the brain by 7.50% Negative cardiovascular effects can be expected by compressing jugular veins and carotids by a neck tie. Despite being a symbol of smartness and professionalism, neckties may not be so good for your health.They can transmit bacteria from medic to patient more so than a shirt sleeve,and too-tight ties have also been found to increase pressure in the eye, possibly leading to an increased risk of glaucoma. However,the body has ways of safely counteracting this change in pressure.Things become more complicated when people have other health issues that lower their ability to cope with such changes, such as those who are obese, smoke or have high blood pressure. If you start to feel headachy,dizzy or nauseous,take the tie off. Loosen that cravat, undo that dicky bow and throw off that necktie. There may be health implications from wearing the smart but restrictive neckwear.
