Walking or biking to work is not only good for your body; it may also benefit your psychological health, a new study from England suggests. In the study, people who walked or cycled to work had higher well-being scores than those who drove. In particular, people who drove to work had a 13% higher likelihood of feeling that they were constantly under strain and unable to concentrate, compared with those who walked or cycled. Whats more, people who switched from driving to walking or cycling to work tended to experience an improvement in well-being. The findings are in line with previous research linking exercise with improvements in mood, the researchers said. Surprisingly, the study also found that people who used public transportation also had higher well-being scores than those who drove to work.
