Hard work never hurt anyone, or so the adage goes, or did it? According to the latest research by Marianna Virtanen from the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health, long hours at work can harm your brain:
Long working hours may raise the risk of mental decline and possibly dementia, research suggests.
The Finnish-led study was based on analysis of 2,214 middle-aged British civil servants.
It found that those working more than 55 hours a week had poorer mental skills than those who worked a standard working week.
The American Journal of Epidemiology study found hard workers had problems with short-term memory and word recall.

Research and advancement in natural therapies have found safe solutions for treating dementia. A friend suggested Biogetica products T6 and VBC Pro which I ordered for immediately. Biogetica provides an admixture of homeopathic and ayurvedic formulations, which have shown therapeutic efficacy in cases of dementia. They improve blood circulation in the brain and help restore the cognitive functions. Additionally they help reduce anxiety, and act as nerve tonics.

Maybe there's a relationship with higher paying jobs, less work hours and the people who hold these positions versus the alternative...
