Indian Study Highlights Health Benefits Of Walking Or Cycling To Work

June 21, 2013: 12:00 AM EST
A study conducted in India reveals that people who walk or cycle to work are healthier than those who drive cars or ride buses. Half of the people who traveled to work by private transport and 38 percent who took public transportation were overweight. Only a quarter of those who walked or cycled to work were overweight. Similar patterns were found for rates of high blood pressure and diabetes. "This study highlights that walking and cycling to work is not only good for the environment but also good for personal health," the researchers concluded.
