Stressed Fat

IF YOUR BOSS is like ours – random mood swings, unprovoked acts of cubicle violence-then there’s a good chance he’s making you fin. A study at the University of California, San Francisco showed that subjects who were chronically subjected to stress had greater central-fat accumulation than subjects in a less stressful environment. If you are serious enough about your health to exercise and eat right, try adding relaxation techniques to your busy day. Yoga, breathing exercises or even high-impact sports like punching a windbag, or a heavy bag rather, can be a great way to unwind.
