Love will 'fatten' you very quickly

Large-scale, 10-year research in Australia shows that people in love are very easy to gain weight, despite a healthier lifestyle and diet.

To decipher this, the University of Central Queensland (Australia) team monitored the emotional life, diet, lifestyle and weight of 15,000 volunteers over 10 years.

They discovered love to help volunteers become more and more healthy. They eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and nutritious meals instead of fast food. The unhealthy things like alcohol and tobacco are also significantly reduced. However, the strange thing is that they still gain weight faster and faster!

In the article just published in the medical journal PLoS ONE, many causes are shown by the research team.

  1. Firstly , eating together is considered by most people as a romantic thing. They often have romantic dinners, sitting together on the sofa and sipping snacks. The feeling of happiness also makes all kinds of food become more delicious.
  2. Secondly , many eaters are quite strict during the "flirt" period to have an attractive body. When there was a love affair that was close enough or married, the obsession had to be attractive in the eyes of the partner to reduce somewhat and many people ate more comfortably.

The appearance of children making weight gain becomes "no braking" , because you often have to deal with leftovers for your child.

Commenting on the study in New Scientists, Dr. Jerica Berge (University of Minnesota, USA) thinks everything from thinking tries to keep one another healthier . However, things did not go in the right direction most people wanted. Eat healthier but increase in quantity is a problem. She urged couples to think about romantic but "responsible" dinners .

At the same time, many studies also show that couples often have equal levels of static behavior and exercise, because they have many common activities, especially couples who always keep passionate love. Therefore, try to get the other person out of the house, walk or practice something more.
