Healthcare Worker



Unfortunately, the professionals who are tasked to keep the rest of us hale and hearty often aren't in a position to easily do the same with regards to their health. These professionals are prone to a variety of health issues ranging from sleep disorders and elevated stress hormones to increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, and irritable bowel syndrome.



These professionals also suffer from weight related issues and are susceptible to injuries while at work. As per the study published in the Journal of Nursing Administration, about 55 percent of nurses surveyed were plagued by obesity and nearly 10 percent had been physically injured while at work. Add to this the possibility of contracting a deadly disease while nursing the sick, makes it one of the unhealthiest jobs on the planet.
