Weight Loss And Blogging Can Go Hand In Hand

weight-loss-and-blogging

As a blog's popularity increases the blogger behind the scene is compelled to wet his hands more than ever before. He is required to pump out more day in and day out. It becomes not only a stressful activity but also a weight boosting activity as you are glued to the monitor for hours together.

Jobs that demand continuous sitting posture takes physical activity out of the equation. So it happens that a blogger's weight gain is directly proportional to the blog's popularity, if the blogger doesn't take enough measures to include physical activity in his/her agenda.

But in my opinion, frequent physical activity and a balanced diet is not a waste of time for blogger, but helps boost creativity and productivity.
