Healthy employees exposed to stress at work are at twice the risk of cardiovascular diseases, a new German study has warned.
It is found that healthy workers exposed to stress at work display significantly elevated inflammatory parameters and face twice the risk of cardiovascular diseases. There is a clear association between stress and elevated concentrations of CRP (C-reactive protein), which is an inflammatory marker, and results in stress related inflammatory reaction in the body. Moreover, job stress leads to harmful psychological effects such as depression and sleep disturbances as well as to unhealthy behavior such as physical activity.
However, doing sports regularly, for at least one hour per week, can significantly reduce inflammatory activity.
