This is not news, sitting for a long time, in transport and at work, is not good for our health and our body. Between water retention, cellulite that can form more quickly and other small concerns like this, it is important to get up frequently and use your legs as soon as you can.

The study by The Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) reveals that spending time sitting is really getting bigger. For this, it was based on the daily habits of 24 million city dwellers living in the suburbs in England and Wales who use public transport and car.

Travel time promotes weight gain

The report highlights the impact of commuting to work through the car or public transport.

This "immobility" generates the lack of time to be active, to exercise a sporting activity, to cook, to take the air, to walk, and also to sleep. So many things short, just to be on time or because of the trip is too long.

Stress and anxiety caused by transportation

For many of these people in the study, the daily "journey" is synonymous with stress and anxiety. These have a direct impact on health and well-being. During this stressful transport phase, the blood pressure increases and the nervousness is more intense.

Thus, after spending time in transport, users prefer to jump on a fast-food, opt for a dish prepare, and lie on the couch rather than go running. By weariness.
