Recent studies revealed that both marriage and divorce can lead to weight gain among couples. But these life-changing events affect men and women differently. A team of researchers from Ohio State University spearheaded Dmitry Tumin found that women are more likely to gain weight after marriage than men. On the other hand, men tend to get a few extra pounds after a divorce. The swings for both genders become more distinct after the age of 30.
 
Determining the exact reasons why major weight gain is more likely for men after a divorce and for women after marriage was not included in the study. However, Prof Zhenchao Qian who is part of the research team believed that the patterns of diet and physical activity of both genders during this marital transition can somehow be among the contributing factors.
  
In this post, I decided to look at some of the most common reasons that may lead to weight gain once a woman decided to marry.

Doesn’t need to attract a partner – The primary reason why many unmarried woman are so conscious about their body shape is to attract a partner. But sad to say, once they already found their partner and been secured through marriage, they often discard those healthy lifestyle habits that keep them look and feel at their best.

Becomes pregnant – It is expected that once a woman marry, she will bear a child. According to healthcare professionals who are primarily tasked to use those hospital medical equipment for birth delivery, most pregnant women crave for foods believing that they have to eat a lot to provide the needed nutrients of the developing life in their womb. Unfortunately, many child-bearing women desire for foods that are less nutritious. Apart from overeating, they become inactive too. Overeating + less physical activity results to unwanted fat.

Learned to cook for gratification – Traditionally, it is included in the responsibility of married woman to prepare meals for the family. Many married women likewise use their cooking skills to impress their partner. But the more the husband appreciates the food and cooking effort of his wife; the food often becomes the gratification source of the woman. As a result, additional weight is gained by the couple.

Eat as much as their partner – The amount of energy needed by a person depends on his/her body size and daily activities. Once the couple gets married, both of them eat as much as their partner does. This is usually the problem encountered by women whose husband has bigger body built because they (the woman) often go beyond their recommended dietary intake.

Becomes the food garbage bin – Being frugal is often one of the qualities of most married women. With today’s tough economy, many moms can’t stand seeing those leftover or uneaten foods on the plate of their partner or children. So what they did is to eat them even if they are already full. These kinds of moms perhaps avoid wasting of foods but they never realized that they are also getting unnecessary calories from that.

For many years, we’ve known Morocco as one of the best tourist destinations in North Africa. This place has been so popular for its great culture, exotic foods, beautiful beaches along the Atlantic coast, and historic sites.  But aside from their wonderful tourist spots, do you know that Morocco’s affordable plastic surgery clinics is also one of the many reasons why more and more people from foreign countries are visiting this place?

That’s true! Morocco is becoming one of the favorite destinations of beauty-conscious tourists. Just recently, the article of AFP correspondent Charlotte Cans was featured on Yahoo News regarding the increasing number of tourists in Morocco. She mentioned in her write-up that a lot of people from foreign lands are flocking to this particular place in North Africa not just for sun, sea, but also for its plastic surgery clinics. She stated also in her written piece that the price of the cosmetic operation such as face-lift, nose job, tummy tuck, and the likes are much cheaper compared to other countries across Europe. And this can be a good reason to consider why beauty-conscious people who want to spend their money wisely are attracted to visit the place.
