Women weigh more after the wedding, the men after divorce
Scientists from Ohio State University decided to prove that the fear of weight gain and ill health after a change in family status, it is quite reasonable. For 22 years, they observed 10 000, to highlight trends in obesity and weight loss after marriage and divorce.Sociologists reported shocking results: women picked an average of 10 kg. after marriage, while men almost the same amount after a divorce. These changes give the different roles of women and men in the family: women have more responsibilities at home, therefore less time to move and care for themselves. For men, weight after a divorce due to stress, in which fast food and alcohol replace home cooking and family atmosphere. The man who lives alone, there is less time for sports and entertainment with friends because of increased domestic duties. Whatever the reason, statistics show that if happiness or unhappiness, experiencing changes in family status, it is reasonable to consider a healthier style of eating.
Another team of researchers in North Carolina, researches the weight of the newlyweds in the first year of marriage and summarize that husband and wife can easily upload from 3 to 5 kg in the initial 12 months. They attribute the changes to the merger of the eating habits of the couple and the central role that the preparation of delicious food in a family tradition. And alone can explain it: if a man loves french fries, of course, that gentle mate will feel tempted. You may remember that when we eat in company, eating more, this is another very logical explanation for the increase in family weight.
