The Causes of Obesity Single and lonely people are prone to obesity

According to data from the National Civil Affairs Administration, the number of single men and women in China has reached nearly 200 million. So, be confident while being single! But being single is one thing, and never let it lead to loneliness and self-doubt. Even if you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, you should live your life with purpose and never let loneliness turn you into a messy, overweight person! Some single individuals might say, "This is too exaggerated. Being single can lead to obesity?" That's right, being single can also be one of the reasons for obesity!

Professor Catherine Hana and Professor Peter Colling from Queensland University of Technology found through their research that single individuals are more prone to irregular eating habits, which can lead to weight gain. Scientists from the Medical School of Thessaloniki University in Greece and the American Hellenic Education Reform Union also confirmed this conclusion. They interviewed 150 obese Greeks and found that single individuals are more likely to become overweight in middle age compared to those who are not single.

Why is being single associated with obesity?

1. Single individuals are more prone to depression

Without the nourishment of love, single people naturally feel empty, lonely, and cold, leading to depressive emotions. Unstable emotions and psychological restlessness can affect gastrointestinal function, making people prone to overeating.

2. Single individuals face pressure

Without a relationship, they deal with idle chatter, pressure from family to date or marry, which is a major stress for single people. Additionally, single individuals are often the first to be chosen for overtime. During holidays, single people have the most free time, and many bosses often think of these flexible single individuals for overtime.

3. Single individuals tend to be homebodies

Some people become homebodies because they can't find a partner, while others become homebodies because they can't find a partner. Being a homebody has become an attribute of single people. Frequently staying at home means less physical activity, more eating, and a preference for ready-to-eat foods. How can this not lead to weight gain?

4. Eating alone

When eating alone, all your attention is focused on eating, and no one will say anything if you overeat. However, when eating with others, your attention shifts as you talk while eating, leading to fewer calories consumed.

If single individuals are prone to weight gain, how can they lose weight? Besides dietary restraint and regular exercise, the most important thing is: get a partner!
