Bengaluru Reddit Post Claims Health Gains After Giving Up a 90-Minute Commute

Coverage highlights flexible work as the likely explanation, with the claims unverified.

Overview

  • An r/Bengaluru user reported losing about 8 kg and seeing resting heart rate drop from 82 to 64 after reworking his routine.
  • The poster described abandoning a Whitefield–Koramangala commute of roughly 90 minutes each way that left him stressed and inactive.
  • Changes included working from home three days a week, early-morning sessions at a nearby gym, and walking to local restaurants instead of ordering in.
  • Commenters widely argued the improvements stem from time freed up for healthier habits rather than traffic itself.
  • Hindustan Times and Times Now noted they could not independently verify the user-generated account, while India Today reported on the online discussion.
