It’s no secret that the last two years have been rough for a lot of people. Financially. Personally. Professionally. New evidence, however, is suggesting that the stresses of the economic climate are having an adverse effect on people&#39;s health—and in some ways that might not seem all that obvious to begin with.&lt;p&gt;Pity, for example, the small business owner: a study by management consulting outfit George S May International found that  52 percent of those it polled reported experiencing negative health effects—both physically and mentally—as a result of the recession.&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, the survey doesn&#39;t go into details about the types of physical or mental effects the recession has made us prone to, but here&#39;s one I didn&#39;t expect: it&#39;s ruining our &lt;i&gt;teeth&lt;/i&gt;. No, really. While we might be cutting out soda in favor of tap water, economic stress has been linked to an increase in incidences of teeth grinding. The worst part: tooth-grinding is a subconscious act that usually occurs when you&#39;re asleep, so you might not even be aware that you&#39;re doing it. Telltale signs, according to the AP, include &quot;headaches, jaw soreness and earaches. Severe grinding can also cause chipping and wear down the teeth.&quot;&lt;p&gt;What&#39;s worse is that nobody has it easy: people with jobs are likely working harder than ever before, while those who have lost them haven&#39;t been set off on a path of carefree wandering either.&lt;p&gt;So let us know: has the economy affected your health? If so, how? Leave a comment in the field below, or post a comment on Twitter.&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;--Posted by Phil Stott, Vault.com&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
