Having a happy and stress free disposition can make one contented and inspired to do his chores at home or tasks in his place of work. It can boost one's confidence and lead him or her to do well in whatever his tasks may be.
But this does not happen all the time because as we all know, trials occur along the way which can lead to conflicts and other problems. When challenges exist, couples tend to become tensed and may even experience an emotional roller coaster.
Apart from the emotional and mental effects, though, did you know that marriage as well as divorce can also impact an individual's physical being? A new research conducted by a team from the Ohio State University has shown that marriage and divorce can affect a person's weight. But there's a difference on how the weight is affected in men and women.
It has been found that women often gain weight after their wedding. Men, on the other hand, tend to increase their weight after a divorce. This applies to couples aged 30 and above regardless whether they're married or divorce.
The authors of the study pointed out that the weight gain in their research among married and divorced people should not be ignored. They added that if this condition continues and the persons concerned don't take action to control their weight, they could face health risks moving forward.
The research team also pointed out the reason married women gain weight can be attributed to the fact that they are often preoccupied with their household chores or their work. As such, many of them no longer have time to do some exercise to stay in shape compared to the unmarried women.
Men, on the one hand, were found to stay fit while married but tend to gain weight when divorced. After a divorce, there are men who tend to ignore themselves and keep on eating whatever they like. This then leads to weight gain.
What the research points out is that people are likely to gain weight when they experience changes in their personal status such as getting married or divorced. The team from the Ohio State University surveyed some 10,000 people to find out the effects of marriage or divorce on an individual's weight. They also took into account the other factors such as pregnancy, education, socio-economic status and poverty.
Previous research has also shown the same effects on the weight of married people. The Journal of Obesity Research in 1999 found that those who got married developed the same eating habits as their partner that led to weight gain. The study that covered 376 pairs showed that spouses became very much alike after living together as married couples over time. Often when one of the spouses eat more than the other, chances are the other one will develop the same eating habit.
