Researchers took a look at the relationship between work commute and health. Bill Briggs reported on some of the findings:

• Those who have a longer commute weigh more and have a higher blood pressure.
• This is possibly because they don’t have as much time to exercise.
• Other potential explanations include less time for sleep, and snacking on fast food.
• Every 10-mile increase in your commute increases your BMI by 0.17 units.
