Yes, happiness can easily make people fat. Getting fat is actually what a happy marriage looks like! In order to study the relationship between marriage and weight change, researchers from Max Planck Institute of Education, Mannheim University, Leipzig University and German Institute of Economics in Germany selected 2, Germans for 16 years to track the data, and confirmed that it is true to get fat after marriage: in the first four years after marriage, the weight growth rate of couples is usually twice as high as that when they live alone before marriage! And this effect is not affected by age, health status, mental state, physical exercise frequency and fertility status.
So why does happiness make wives easy to make people fat? Wang Jun, deputy chief physician of the Department of Neurology of Nanjing First Hospital, once replied that "happiness fat" may be related to dopamine secretion from hypothalamus during love. "Dopamine is an important central nerve conduction substance, a chemical used to help cells transmit pulses, which can affect people's happy feelings about things. Couples in love will be in a better mood, and the hypothalamus will secrete dopamine. This exciting neurotransmitter may mobilize many positive energy things, such as stimulating appetite. "
Scientists have also made their analysis. They think it is understandable that people become fat after they feel happy, because when people feel safe, they will relax. This relaxation not only makes people psychologically comfortable, but also makes people relax in behavior, making eating habits more in line with "physical needs." Habit is the choice people make without thinking. Therefore, when people live comfortably, their brains will enter the normal mode, and all behaviors will be labor-saving and normalized. It is precisely for this reason that many women think that they will "get fat" after living with their boyfriends.
So for girls, I don't think you need to be too afraid of your weight gain, because if you are getting fatter now, it means you love the right person.
