A team at Boston University School of Medicine found guys who let life weigh them down also packed on the pounds during middle age — and increased their odds of developing heart disease and suffering strokes. Study author Lewina Lee says persistent stress can repeatedly raise the heart rate and blood pressure, and flood the body with stress hormone, triggering chronic disease-related inflammation.
