The habit of eating alone leads to life-threatening disorders
The journal Obesity Research & Clinical Practice, told about the study by South Korean researchers from the University of Dongala established that the habit of eating alone is fraught with the development threat to life and health violations. And, separately, experts noted, men with this habit tend to lose health to a greater extent than women.
“Eating alone has become a new social problem in modern life,” said the study authors in the journal article. According to them, the way people live in cities and their employment to jobs and careers, as well as the rapid development of technology have a negative impact on social contacts. The meals is gradually becoming a “relic of the past” – food is increasingly absorbed on the go or in the pauses between cases.
Scientists in Seoul have established the manner to eat alone, significantly increases the likelihood of development of metabolic syndrome and obesity, especially in men. Before making this conclusion, they analyzed data on 7 725 men and women aged 19 years collected within the national study of health and nutrition.
This study was considered different habits in the lifestyle of people. After reviewing them, the authors of the new project, found that men who use food alone were the highest risk to develop obesity and metabolic syndrome. “Singles who ate alone at least 2 times a day, the risk of obesity increased by 45% and the risk of metabolic syndrome by 64%, compared to men, dined in company with someone,” – said the researchers.
In their opinion, this problem stems from the fact that no company at the table makes men much less disciplined in terms of calorie intake. Women who ate alone twice a day, the risk of developing metabolic syndrome was increased only by 29%.
Metabolic syndrome is a complex of hormonal disorders, against which develop obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Such violations for a long time asymptomatic, and people don’t realize that is seriously ill.
