Bengaluru is one of the busiest cities in India. Also known for the biggest traffic jam. One person from Bengaluru has a topic that is now being discussed among netizens. The man claimed that the traffic made him fit and helped him to drop 18 kg.
The technician decided to stop "fighting" the traffic and completely changed his way of life after putting up with the exhausting 90-minute trip between Whitefield and Koramangala. He switched to a work-life arrangement and early-morning workouts after becoming bored with eating at his desk and missing the gym due to a three-hour daily round-trip drive. His narrative has rapidly garnered popularity on the internet.

His opinion about the traffic
The Reddit user wrote, “Unpopular opinion: Bengaluru's traffic actually made me healthier.”
Telling his story, he posted, “I used to commute from Whitefield to Koramangala. 90 minutes each way on good days. I was constantly stressed, eating at my desk, zero exercise.”
He added, “The traffic didn't get better. I just stopped fighting it. Now I'm fitter than I was at 25. My resting heart rate dropped from 82 to 64. I've lost 8 kgs without trying. Anyone else accidentally got healthier by giving up on the commute?”

Netizens react
One user wrote about the traffic, “The traffic did not make you healthier. The WFH did. Now, instead of time spent commuting, you’re hitting the gym. Yet another reason why WFH should be mandatory, especially for a city like Bangalore.” “I sold my bike, and now I walk everywhere. My cholesterol levels are back to normal. For the office, I take a quick ride.” Another commented.
Another person underlined in a comment, “Man, I would say the same, but I can't WFH. I walk 5 km daily, take the bus, and I'm way healthier than I ever was. I had hair fall and stuff (probably due to lack of activities and less blood circulation in the body), but now it's healthy.”
