People usually points out depression, stress and other reason why they binge eat and thus gain weight. But, little do they know that a study had revealed that happiness in love is also the reason why people bloat instantly.

According to Euro Weekly, a study conducted by Spanish Society of the Study of Obesity with the aid of hospitals Quirónsalud Torrevieja and Valencia found out that eating habits are incorporated more by people when being with the people they love instead of conducting physical and healthy exercises.

Hence, a nutrition specialist at the Quirónsalud Hospital Obesity Unit, Dr. Caridad Gimeno said that the tendency of having a partner is eating and going out for foods and drinks. "Which means we move away from the healthiest foods. This is why people with the tendency to gain weight could notice a slight increase in weight” he then explained.

Gimeno also noted that while consulting patients they had found out that a large percentage of them tend to gain weight during their wedding or the period of their stable relationship with their partners. Gimeno also added that another reason for weight gain in women had been found that they are laid back upon starting a family thus they have less time for cooking and exercise. Meanwhile, men’s reason was found to be family responsibilities taken that takes their free time to exercise as well.

With that said, Jacaranda FM also said that National Center for Biotechnology Information conducted a studied 169 couples on their first marriage. Thus, after assessing them for four years, the study found out that married couples that are happy and stable are those people that gain weight.

In addition, the study also found out that those slim married couples were those who were prone to problems which ended in divorce. It was then noted that happy couples are those who doesn’t stress too much in taking care of their appearance whether they are fat or not since they don’t care about attracting other people. While those who maintains their slim body were mentioned to be those who are still interested in attracting other people.
