It's comforting to know that research continues to be conducted to determine the levels of stress that women experience, and the impact that stress has on our heart health. A study of over 17,000 women was conducted over a period of ten years.
Some of the research findings were recently published, and not surprisingly, they confirm that female workers suffer from levels of stress high enough to trigger heart attacks, bigh blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels. Notable among the findings is the high level of stress among women who work in healthcare.
Remarkable Women, what you are doing in the workforce is amazing! Your contributions have led to phenomenal advances in every aspect of society. Whether you are formally acknowledged or not, you know what you're doing to make a difference.
But heed the advice of the findings. Take care of yourself first. Exercise regularly, quit smoking if you do, adopt a healthy nutrition plan, get enough sleep, and practice calmness as often as possible.
