Bored? BEWARE!


According to a study from University College London, you really can be BORED TO DEATH.

In the 1980s, a pair of researchers from University College London wanted to find out if boredom could affect a person's health. So they surveyed 7,500 civil servants in the UK, and asked them if they'd been bored at work in the past month.

Then last year, they followed up on the study to see where the civil servants are now.

What they found is that those who reported they were bored at work were TWO AND A HALF TIMES more likely to have died of a heart problem.

In other words, boredom actually CAN kill you!!
