Stressful Jobs Increase Heart Risk Directly and Through Lifestyle

Chicken or egg or bull?
"Just how job stress harms the heart appears to be via direct effects on neuroendocrine pathways and through indirect effects on health behaviors, researchers here found...

About 16% of stress' effect on the heart was attributable to its impact on the metabolic syndrome while another about 16% was attributed to unhealthy behaviors such as reduced physical activity, diet, and other lifestyle factors."
Bull wins!

See the fat part? Metabolic syndrome, reduced physical activity and diet.

Lose weight, work better.
