What if I told you to quit your job and lead a healthier life, would you take me up on it?

I'm sure many would if they could! But it's not that easy.

However, there was a recent study conducted and many of those who have retired are now leading a much more invigorating life.

Sydney University in Australia found a good way to get healthy is to just stop working.

Those who did 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."
