Q: A new study out of Australia found a good way to get healthy is to do this?

A: Quit working!

Want to Get Healthy? Just Quit Your Job

A new study out of Sydney University in Australia found a good way to get healthy is to stop WORKING.

 

They found that people who retired got an extra 93 minutes of exercise every week . . . spent 67 fewer minutes every day sitting . . . and slept for 77 more minutes every night.

 

People were also more likely to quit smoking once they stopped working, and got to spend more time on their hobbies and other stuff they actually like.

 

The researchers say that when you stop working it, quote, “creates a great window of opportunity to make positive lifestyle changes.  It’s a chance to get rid of bad routines and engineer new, healthier behaviors.”
