Your body hates Mondays more than you do, new study finds

Hate Mondays? Turns out your body does, too.

A new study from the University of Hong Kong found that older adults who felt anxious on Mondays had 23% higher levels of stress hormone cortisol in their body up to two months later, compared to those who reported anxiety on other days.

And that Monday-specific stress could be quietly damaging your health — no matter your age, job status or daily routine, experts said.
