Six months after marriage, men are prone to obesity, women are prone to obesity

Marriage is the beginning of obesity, what to do? Doctors point out that being fat is not a blessing. The main cause of obesity after marriage is changes in lifestyle and stress. In particular, many people start to lose their figure after marriage. According to statistics, the weight of the bride and groom can easily increase by about 3 to 5 kilograms in the first six months after marriage, and the longer the marriage lasts, the greater the risk of weight gain and becoming obese.

Studies have found that the main reason for physical changes after marriage is changes in lifestyle and stress.

Xiao Dunren, executive director of the Taiwan Obesity Medicine Association and a specialist in obesity and weight loss, pointed out that according to a study by Cornell University in the United States, women gain an average of 10.4 kilograms in weight after 13 years of marriage, while men gain 8.2 kilograms. Married men in particular are three times more likely to be obese than single men, while married women gain twice as much weight as when they were single.

Obesity risk starts from the moment you walk into the hall

After getting married, one will obviously have to face the problem of obesity. What many people fear most is obesity after marriage. Not only do they worry that their metabolism will slow down as they age, causing increased burden on their bodies, they are also worried about the risk of death from cardiovascular disease caused by weight gain.

Marital pain, stress and emotions can lead to obesity

Dr. Xiao Dunren emphasized that in addition to stress, one of the reasons for weight gain after marriage is the shift in attention of both husband and wife after marriage. Clinical consultation and observation show that before marriage, men pay more attention to their image and often exercise and participate in various physical exercises to maintain a strong body. This kind of "mandatory" physical exercise that burns fat and consumes energy is very helpful in curbing male obesity.

But after getting married, the interactions of many young men and women move from outdoors to indoors, the amount of exercise decreases sharply, and some even sit on the sofa and watch TV after meals. In addition, busy newlyweds often wait for each other until late for dinner, or even for supper, and go to bed in a hurry, which easily leads to fat accumulation. Especially after marriage, I no longer paid as much attention to my appearance as before. I gradually became lazy and stopped controlling my diet and maintaining exercise and fitness.

Most obese men after marriage suffer from abdominal obesity.

Intake of more calories causes men to have fat bellies and women to have fat buttocks

It is worth noting that the pressure of life and emotional influences after marriage, such as family financial burden, tense relationship between husband and wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems, differences in children's education, etc., will produce uncontrollable appetite and stress resistance; and stress will affect hormones, change the distribution of fat tissue in the body, causing men to have obesity in the waist and abdomen, and women to accumulate fat in the buttocks and thighs.

When facing obesity among married couples, it is like saving. The calories contained in the food each person consumes are like income, and those consumed and metabolized are like expenditure, then fat is the deposit. If you earn more and spend less, you will have more savings. If you consume more calories and burn less, fat will naturally accumulate.
