It's my observation that when I worked remotely and traveled around the world at the same time, I had the best health state in my life; that was incomparable to e.g. a previous employment with open-plan office with colleagues taking smoking breaks all the time, making the indoor air nasty, and being guaranteed to catch some long-lasting small to medium sickness every year (e.g. half of the office coughing a bit for 1-2 months). Now visiting Google/Facebook and seeing desks crammed next to each other... I meet people outside, throw own parties, visit gyms/saunas, so I am exposed to latest "flu trends", yet remote work made my illnesses infrequent (well, they do happen if I can't stop and don't cut working time to 8 hours/day...). Also, the stress is way lower, I don't need to look at a boss' grumpy face that overcompensates for their lack of capabilities by ramping up their controlling/dominance aspects.
