Unless you are lucky enough to live a short walk from your workplace, chances are that you will have some sort of commute. And with housing prices pushing people further and further out of the cities, our commutes are getting longer. According to a 2012 study, people with longer commutes had higher blood pressure, bigger waistlines, and were less fit than those who worked closer to home. Swedish research from the year before found that couples in which at least one partner commutes long distance are 40 per cent more likely to separate than equivalent couples.
