If You Are What You Eat, Then Red Meat Must Mean You're An Accountant
AllHerb.com Survey Finds How Your Profession Affects Health Choices

Are you tired of having those few extra pounds around the middle? Can't seem to motivate yourself to exercise? Perhaps it isn't you, but your job that's affecting your physical well-being. According to a survey by Allherb.com, accountants were seven times more likely to order red meat at a restaurant than auto mechanics and McDonald's store managers reported exercising the most, followed by stay at home moms and investment bankers. The survey also found college professors and exotic dancers were each three times as likely to believe in an herbal health regimen than doctors.

The survey of more than 1,300 people throughout the country looked at how professions may affect a healthy lifestyle. Other interesting results: Clergymen ranked as the number one group most likely to smoke, followed closely by doctors and therapists were most likely to have reported drinking to excess once within the last month – three times as likely compared to auto mechanics.

"We understand from the e-mails we receive that a lot of poor health habits are due to the work schedules people have, the amount of time they have for exercise, and the amount of stress people face," explained Ken Hakuta, founder and CEO of AllHerb.com, an online herbal resource. "The type of work you do can have a big affect on all of these factors, so we thought it would be interesting to look at what type of health choices people make based on their profession."

When it came to lighting up, 41% of accountants have lied to their doctors when asked whether or not they were smokers, versus 8% of auto mechanics and doctors were also the number one group to believe marijuana should be legalized, followed by stay at home moms.

Some other interesting results: Construction workers were twice as likely to lie to avoid having a shot than teachers; lawyers were three times more likely to lie to doctors than car salesmen, and on average, computer technicians weighed the most followed by doctors and cops respectively.

AllHerb.com is a comprehensive web site that provides a complete introduction to herbs and serves to provide a complete herbal education over the Internet.

Ken Hakuta is available for interview.
