Can you save money, the environment, and your health all at the same time by making only one change in how you live? According to new research from a dual university study in London, the answer is a solid “yes.”
And you can do it while traveling to work or other activities.
What is the simple change that can affect so many factors of life, slashing diabetes risk, lowering high blood pressure, and leaving cash in your wallet?
In results of a mega-study involving more than 20,000 participants, researchers from 2 universities in London found a surprisingly simple fix to solving a long list of problems in making only one lifestyle change.
Researchers at University College London and Imperial College London followed thousands of Londoners to see what effect, if any, walking or cycling to work would have on health factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity.
What they found was that for people who didn’t drive or use a taxi, the rates of obesity fell sharply, and risk of developing diabetes and high blood pressure also dropped significantly, even without making any other lifestyle changes.
Even those who rode public transportation saw health benefits over those who drove.
Given that the cost of owning, maintaining, and operating a motor vehicle can be one of the top annual budget-eaters in a person’s salary, as well as the environmental impact a vehicle can have, researchers commented that one of the best ways to save money is also extremely effective in saving health, too.

sir, i have gone through ur article diabities and high bp on way to work.walkking and cyling even once or twice in a week really gives good results.i have sugar on borderline,ie pp 115 but it is controlled by walking six km daily and cyciling on weekends……..i do not take any medicine……….shall i start with the medicine or not
This information does not surprise me at all. I always take public transportation or walk if it is not too far.
It’s an exercise and saves me money. I am glad that they did a study about this, people can be more aware about the impact of driving all the time. It is just not healthy and very stressful at times.
Dear Pritpal,
I think it is great that you are staying physically active by walking and cycling, it definitely adds to your health.
However, you should let your doctor decide if you need to take medication or not. It all depends on severity of your health condition, blood pressure, sugar levels, age, weight and etc.
I sincerely say a big thanks to God, and also to Doctor Isimhenmhen Anthony for his help and love towards me. Brothers and sisters, i have suffered diabetes type 2 for over 10 years, my sugar level became too high that even minor injury in my body could not heal. My doctor have been helping me to manage this diabetes for long, but always say to me that there is no cure for it so i begin to cry to God each day, asking him if this was his wish for me in life to die full of pains. One day i went to a mall to buy something and i heard some person talking about herbs, so i was interested and i went closer to them to join the discussion until one of them after much argument opened a website of a herbal doctor and showed it to us. i read and saw so many testimonies of different people testifying how they were cured of their ailment with the help of a herbal doctor. So i demanded the link of the website and it was given to me as (http://drisimhenmhenherbalhome.com) so i went home settled down to review the site. Behold i was impressed with various testimonies i saw there. so i have to contact the herbal doctor on his email ([email protected]) i explained in writing to him what i have been passing through for a decade, and then he told me that he have cured so many people of same diabetes so i was very happy to hear this. He counseled me, prepared the herbs and sent it to me in my country, i followed his instructions, did all necessary and behold today i have joined the testifiers to also say i am cured of diabetes milieus. Brothers/sisters are you still suffering from this diabetes milieus? And you doctor says there is no cure? i have a good news for you there is a cure and our personal doctors are not aware of the herbal process. Please if you want your cure now contact Doctor Isimhenmhen Anthony on his email ([email protected]) his website is (http://drisimhenmhenherbalhome.com) or call him on (+2348166739726).
