7. Working far from home
Your commute could be keeping you fat, in a few different ways. A 2013 study revealed that those with longer daily trips to work had a higher body mass index (BMI) not only because of the inactivity while commuting but also because of the perceived stress and inflexibility of the routine.
If you can’t reduce the commute time, try counteracting the inactivity and stress by biking part of the way to work, or taking time to decompress and move your body during lunch hour.
