Women, Stress and Heart Disease
Ladies today are in no way behind men in all fields. But sometimes while balancing the personal and professional lives together, today's woman gets less time to take care of herself.
Technology advancement and modernization has made all career-oriented. We find people becoming more and more money-conscious today. And we women are no exception for this. Women have also joined the race for career and money and are well competing men. We can find women in all the fields today. But does this progress somewhere affect women's health? Are we neglecting or forgetting to take care of ourselves, ladies? Most of the women will agree me on the answer and that is “yes”!
The stress at workplace, household chores, children's responsibilities, maintaining good relationships with husband and relatives are all somewhere creating a burden on all the ladies. While trying to keep balance between workload at office and home, women are harming their heart. The statistics show that working women are more likely to have heart diseases. It has been observed that women on demanding job positions and less control over how to do them have the chance of getting heart attack than women with less demanding jobs. Women in employment have been recorded to have cardiovascular health problems. The study has also revealed that women working in night shifts are more prone to heart related diseases.
It becomes tedious when it comes to droping and picking children from school and completing the office projects on time at the same time! This also leads to mental disturbance and the fight in the brain on how to manage both work and house at the same time. But women should try to avoid taking stress both at home and workplace.
