Job stress can take a toll on your health, and as it turns out, if your job is physically demanding, it could cause an early death.

In a new study researchers found men with highly physical jobs had an 18-percent higher risk of early death than those who were less active.

This held true regardless of their exercise habits outside of work. There was no such link among women.
