Chronic Job Stress Causes Obesity
The stressful working conditions and lack of exercise have been strongly associated with being overweight or obese , says the health experts.
The researchers found that around 72 to 75 percent of the employees participated the surveys were overweight or obese. The research was linked with the high job pressure with cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, depression, exhaustion, anxiety and weight gain.
The diet rich with fruits and vegetables has little effect in offsetting the effect of chronic job stress on weight gain among the employees, who were mostly sedentary.
On the other hand, exercise appeared to be significant in dealing with stress and keeping a healthy weight.

programs
to
provide
good
nutrition,
ways
to

without
