Stressed at work? You will likely feel it at the waistband.

In April of this year, the American Journal of Epidemiology published a study today that shows that the stress you experience at work will significantly increase your risk of obesity. Researchers monitored 3,413 women and 6,895 men, aged between 35 and 55 at the beginning of the study) for 19 years, following their levels of job strain. Job strain was defined as being under heavy demands, having little decision-making power and little social support at work. In both male and females, people who reported job strain on more than one occasion were 17% more likely to develop obesity.
