As a mid-40s year old male, I can assure you that working 70+ hours a week will eventually kill you. Your body will respond in ways you never expected in your youth. And it's insidious. It will sneak up on you and catch up to you when you least expect it. If you're lucky, there will be time to take corrective action.
- rfnslyr 13y agoCould you elaborate on the tolls it takes?
- gregd 13y agoSure. For me, the stress has manifested itself in the following ways, I have high-blood pressure, I have fatty liver, I have high cholesterol, I'm overweight, my eyesight is horrid, I grind my teeth while I sleep which has resulted in broken teeth, I have one gold crown and another chipped tooth and have a really messed up "sleep" schedule. I have chronic back problems, allergies and get frequent colds. All of this due to the stress of working long, hard hours. Keep in mind that I have a diet which is better than the typical American's. I've cut a lot of sugar out of my lifestyle.
