Women gain
weight after marriage
A study reveals that beginning
and ending your marriage can take a toll on your increasing waistline.
Let's research a bit about the growing trend...
It 's a fact that women tend to gain weight after marriage, but researchers have
found out recently that men are more likely to put on weight after divorce.
It is believed that whenever there is a big change in your
life, it affects your weight first. Also, this weight gain may pose to be a health risk as
well.
Changing waistlines
Simran Kohli, 25, media professional says, "I had
gained immense weight after marriage and it was not an easy task to shed the
extra kilos."
Health experts say that this sudden gain in weight after a
marriage or divorce may be because as people age, they
become more settled in certain eating and exercising habits.
In the case of men, it is believed that they get a health
boost outside marriage, perhaps because their spouses monitor their behaviour
and they lose this benefit after divorce.
Rishi Mehrotra, 34, businessman, says, "I started
putting on weight after my wife and I parted ways. The reason is that I started
socialising more to forget about the past and ate out almost every day. This
has taken a toll on my increasing waistline."
The relationship between marriage and weight are complex and
contingent upon many factor.

Diabetes can make women deaf
A new study has found that having diabetes may
cause women to experience a greater degree
of hearing loss as they age, especially if
the metabolic disorder is not well controlled with
medication.
According to the study from Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, women between the ages of 60 and 75 with well-controlled diabetes had better hearing than women with poorly controlled diabetes, with similar hearing levels to those of non-diabetic women of the same age.
According to the study from Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, women between the ages of 60 and 75 with well-controlled diabetes had better hearing than women with poorly controlled diabetes, with similar hearing levels to those of non-diabetic women of the same age.
The study also shows significantly worse hearing in all women younger than 60 with diabetes, even if it is well controlled.
Men, however, had worse hearing loss across the board compared to women in the study, regardless of their age or whether or not they had diabetes.
"A certain degree of hearing loss is a normal part of the aging process for all of us, but it is often accelerated in patients with diabetes, especially if blood-glucose levels are not being controlled with medication and diet," Derek J. Handzo, D.O., with the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Henry Ford said.
"Our study really points to importance of patients controlling their diabetes, especially as they age, based on the impact it may have on hearing loss."
American Diabetes Association said that nearly 26 million people in the U.S. have diabetes, and another 34.5 million have some degree of hearing loss.
Signs of hearing loss include difficulty hearing background noises or hearing conversations in large groups, as well as regularly needing to turn up the volume on a radio or TV. The study was presented on Jan 26 in Miami Beach at the annual Triological Society's Combined Sections Meeting.
