Healthy Eating Is Contagious


The benefits of healthy eating are endless. You feel better about yourself, more gets accomplished, there’s less stress. But now study shows that just by changing your diet you can help your spouse loose weight.
Spouse cooperation can be difficult to achieve. They may be skeptical your diet will last and want to let you try it out first. They may not see their own need to diet.

The good news is when you eat right; your spouse will most likely start to follow –automatically.

In a recent study sponsored by the National Cancer Institute, when wives consumed less fat or less calories, so did the majority of their husbands – most cut their fat intake by as much as 10%.

However if the wife fixed a separate meal for the husband, one different from the low-cal one for herself, husbands actually ended up eating 10% more fat.

This can also be true for the rest of the family as obesity in America has quadrupled in less than three decades, parents must pave the way for their children to eat right.
