Health and fitness tips: Long commute to work

According to a study published in theAmerican Journal of Preventive Medicine, people who did a long commute to work are more likely to develop high blood pressure, obesity, and excess belly fat.

Surveying 4,300 people who live and work away from their home, researchers tried to find out just how the distance from the office to the home affected commuters. Analysis of the results, researchers found that those who lived closer to their place of work had fewer health problems. In fact, among the participants who lived within five miles (roughly 8 kilometers) of the workplace, 76 percent exercised for an average of 30 minutes. Among those who had a 30-mile (roughly 48 kilometers) commute back and forth, however,70 percent had an average of 30 minutes of physical activity.

For those who lived outside the 30-mile radius, researchers found that they were more likely to have an unhealthy waist size and have high blood pressure. This increase may be attributed to the stress of having to commute to home and lacking enough rest.
