Thread Name: BS: your social status affects your health
Subject: RE: BS: your social status affects your health
The more wealtheir I've become, the more unhealthy I've become. When I left School I was a manual worker, working as a gardener, I was on a low wage but managed to eat well, plus I couldn't afford to drink much and the job kept me phyisically fit. Nearly 30 years later, I no longer have a mannual job, I now work as a community worker. Compaired to my peers I concider myself reasonably healthy but compairing my own lifestyle 30 years ago to now I've declined (that's taking age into concideration) don't get as much exersise, I eat when I've got time,which means I often skip meals & I drink more. Yes the job gives me more money but it also gives me more stress.
