A Healthy Working Day
What did your business coach always say: “Work smarter, not harder.” Turns out that saying should end with ‘not longer.’
A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine has found a strong link between heart disease and the length of the working day. The findings suggested that workers who clocked in for working days that averaged 11 hours, were much more at risk at developing heart disease.
The study suggested that doctors should include a measurement of working hours in their questioning of patients with a history of heart disease or with individuals who may be living a lifestyle combination that is deemed unhealthy.
Hard work might not be the sole cause of heart failure, but teemed with a lack of exercise, a poor diet, smoking and or high cholesterol, it may be lethal.
The research was gathered from 7,100 British workers over 11 years. The findings reflect previous research that had connected heart failure and working hours.
An average worker can combat the demand to work longer by finding a possibly lower paid position that allows for more time away from the office. To offset the pay decrease, individuals can put more money towards investments that grow without constant supervision or unnecessary worry.
