Workaholics look older than their age

Overworked corporate young guns are aging prematurely, a health expert warns.
Workaholic habits left 25-year old looking and feeling 35, with a list of lifestyle diseases to match.
Haggard faces on bloated bodies were the sure signs.
Career crusaders who slaughter their health often suffer from high blood fat, high blood pressure, frequent coughs and colds, diabetes and low energy.
And having a six-pack was no reason to relax.
Lean people abuse their bodies all week, then gorge on exercise at the weekend.
They’re going to developing the lifestyle of the weekend warrior at 25, not 35.
Despite their best intentions, weekend super-sessions are more likely to cause injury or dehydration.
It was easy to see why so many workers got hooked on the deprivation/reward cycle.
It happens because they’re working ’til 10 at night and… what sort of food is being brought into the office at seven or eight o’clock at night?
They’re aging prematurely.
Fresh food shops in the city and getting active midweek were health lifelines for workaholics.
And getting active midweek was he other side of the solution for people walking the tightrope between work goals and life commitments.
“They should act their age.” said Karen Inge, a dietitian consultant.

    Hey,
    I've seen this happen to a lot of my friends who are now reaching thier mid-30's. They look like they are well into their 40's…It definitely makes you think about things we should be doing to not go down the same road…
