HOW FRIENDS MAKE YOU FAT<\/h1>\n

The results are in, and your friends can, in fact, make you fat. \u00a0Allow me to elaborate\u2026<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine assessed the likeliness of gaining weight based on the company you keep. \u00a0According to the article, if your friends, siblings or spouse become obese, the chances of you following are somewhere between 37% and 57%.<\/p>\n

My initial thought is that this is likely a result of the activities, or lack thereof, that you do together. \u00a0I\u2019d like to think that you\u2019re less apt to find this situation between workout buddies than you would with a group that loves food. \u00a0Personally, I\u2019d like to see a reverse study to find out if fitness can also be contagious. \u00a0Until then, try to be open to new experiences and activities, stay active and don\u2019t let your friends weigh you down!<\/p>\n
