Whether it’s an ordinary man or a male celebrity, many people unknowingly enter the “slightly overweight” or “obesity” category after marriage, and if this happens unconsciously, the trend of weight gain may intensify. This can be illustrated in the chart below: generally, after about two years of marriage post-graduation, we see that after four, eight years, or even longer, the belly gradually bulges? Why does this curse exist?
If the reasons are not understood, it fills many men who wish to step into the marriage hall with various fears about their post-marriage body! So let’s analyze the secrets of this with health manager Lao Hu!
Why do men tend to gain weight after marriage? There are several reasons at play, and knowing them may help avoid the issue!
The fact that men gain weight after marriage is not an isolated case; it is a universal phenomenon. Research conducted by universities in English-speaking countries with large sample sizes shows that the likelihood of men gaining weight after getting married and becoming fathers is greater than that of women. Researchers compared the weights of men with an average height of 180cm from nine countries before and after marriage and found an average weight gain of 4 pounds! This is an undeniable fact, and some men have even exceeded this weight gain! Even the idolized Song Joong-ki was dubbed “Song Zhong-ki” a year after his marriage.
Medical research indicates that once a person turns 30, their metabolism declines by 5% every decade, which verifies some people’s statements: “My appetite is about the same as before, so why am I getting fatter?”
Age cannot be reversed, nor can we control changes in metabolic levels, but some factors that lead to obesity can be avoided!
It is still important to control diet, monitor total food intake, especially in the evening when activity levels are low, and eat a little less;
If socializing is inevitable,
Get moving! Try to find three or four days a week to exercise for half an hour to forty minutes each time. If you stick with it, your weight will gradually decrease.
Ensure 6-7 hours of sleep, reduce late nights; this can help avoid the likelihood of obesity to some extent.
