According to recent research, the more you are happy in a
marriage, the greater the chances you will accumulate fat.
Researchers from Southern Methodist University, USA, studied
169 couples who had been married for 4 years. Researchers also measured their
weight and ask if they were satisfied in their marital relationship.
The result, researchers found that couples are happy in
marriage tend to experience weight gain. While they are not happy or unhappy
tend to experience weight loss.
"For every increase in satisfaction, either individuals
or couples, body mass index will increase an average of about 0.12 every six
months," said lead researcher Andrea Meltzer, as quoted Dailymail.co.uk.
This increase is equivalent to a woman who weighs 54 kg and
up half a pound every 6 months. Although weight loss was not immediately swell,
but this increase could occur with a period of time.
Meltzer stated, people who are unhappy in her marriage can
manage your weight better because his mind focused on divorce and want to look
nice in the search for a new partner.
However, Meltzer cautioned that this study does not prove
cause and effect relationship.
Not only that, a recent study from Ohio University found
that wives tend to gain weight after marriage, while men are relatively slim.
That's because most women stop taking care of themselves for
the husband after marriage. This also could explain why men generally gain
weight if divorced spouse.
"Clearly, the effect of marital transitions on weight
changes differs by gender. Divorce for men, and marriage for women, encourage
weight gain is large enough, and then poses a health risk, "said
researcher Dmitry Tumin.
Well, how about you?
