Three hours of extra work daily raises risk of heart problems by 60 per cent. Working overtime may be bad for the heart, reported health website WebMD.
A study which followed 6,000 British civil servants found that working overtime for at least three hours daily was associated with a 60 per cent increased risk of heart conditions.
In the study, which was published online in the European Heart Journal, seven hours typically make up a normal work day.
The link was seen even though the impact of well-established heart disease risk factors like smoking, obesity, and high cholesterol were taken into account.
Men were six times more likely than women to work at least three hours of overtime a day. Married workers were almost nine times more likely than single ones to work at least three hours of overtime a day
Cardiovascular researcher Gordon T. McInnes of Scotland's University of Glasgow said more research is needed to confirm an independent association between overtime-related work stress and heart disease.
However, he also noted that a growing body of research is linking longer work days with health problems, including high blood pressure.
'Men were six times more likely than women to work at least three hours of overtime a day????' BULLSHIT!

孩子 妈妈希望当她年老,双脚无力时, 你能用你年轻有力的手, 搀扶她。
就像你在学习走路的时候, 妈妈怕你跌倒一样。
妈妈这个心愿你做的到吗?

When a girl is quiet, millions of things are running in her mind. When a girl is not arguing, she is thinking deeply. When a girl looks at you with eyes full of questions, she is wondering how long you will be around. When a girl answers “I’m fine” after a few seconds, she is not at all fine. When a girl stares at you, she is wondering why you are lying. When a girl lies on your chest, she is wishing for you to be hers forever. When a girl calls you everyday, she is seeking for your attention. When a girl says “I love you”, she means it with all her heart. When a girl says that she can’t live without you, she has made up her mind that you are her future. When a girl says “I miss you”, no one in this world can miss you more than that.
