If your commute to work is more than 15 miles then you're at greater risk from obesity.
New research has found that longer distances left less time for physical activities and the effects that brings.
The study of 4297 adults over seven years found those working 10 miles from work tended to have high blood pressure, while those more than 15 miles away had lower cardio fitness, greater body mass and higher blood pressure.
The commute itself doesn't seem to be to blame, just the reduced likelihood of hitting physical activity targets, so if you're a commuter, mix it up with a lunchtime workout.
