Workstress can get to your genes
Overworked? Worried about your job? Bullied? We’ve long known that too much stress can make you sick mentally and physically. For example, a recent UK study has shown that stress is the cause of 85% of all illness, and other studies have shown work stress to be a major issue. Scientists have now found that stress can become encoded in your genes and be passed on to your descendants. The critical boss, the over-demanding client, pressure to do more with fewer resources may be the reason your great-grandchild gets a heart attack.
