"It's not the activity itself at work, but rather what tends to go along with it," says study leader James Dwyer. "The modern structure of the work force is that jobs that involve more physical activity tend to involve more stress," adds Dwyer, a professor of preventive medicine at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. "Those who are left doing physically demanding work tend to be in jobs that involve insecurity and stresses." Top 10 Ways to Stay Motivated!

Spread over the course of a week, that’s 500 calories a day. For many of us, decreasing our food intake by 500 calories is no simple feat. This is where taking a dual approach to weight
loss — using both diet and exercise — becomes so valuable. By restricting
your dietary intake by only 250 calories (your average candy bar) and burning
off another 250 through cardiovascular exercise (an hour or less, depending
on your weight and exercise type and intensity), meeting the 500-calorie
quota becomes much more doable.
