Stressful jobs make women healthier, says the study

Hard work and stress make women more vulnerable to overweight.

The study, which took the case of 3,800 people, has found that women struggling to cope with their workloads are more likely to gain extra pounds over the next ten years than 20 years.

The feeling of overloading at work may detoxify women, making them lazy or eating food without any concern for weight.

Stress also promotes the release of hormone cortisol, which helps spread fat around the abdomen.

Women may be more vulnerable than men, since they often try to avoid job demands and responsibility for home.
