A stressful job is associated with a bigger waistline, according to a new study of employees at a downsized company in upstate New York.

Workers with higher job stress were fatter than employees with less stressful positions. The stressed employees had a body mass index (BMI) that was about one unit heavier on average than that of their relaxed co-workers. BMI is a measure of height and weight that estimates body fat. For 5-foot, 10-inch person, one BMI unit is equal to seven pounds.

So this means that less stress means better health.

Our Health is one of the things that every one tells us we should never take for granted however we always do.

The way the health care system operates today means we must take care of ourselves better, this may come in the form of introducing a range of health products to our daily regime in conjunction with an increase in daily exercise.
