Ever wonder the optimal number of hours a week our bodies like us to work? Researchers at the University of Texas Health Science Centers and University of St. Thomas in Houston did. Their findings… stay heart healthy by working 45 hours a week max.
An analysis of health data from over 1900 people revealed that every hour over 45 hours/week increased heart risk. At 55 hours/week the risk rose to 16% and at 60 hours/week it was a 35% greater. The upshot: Work smart and hard but not too long.
