Singleness and good health go hand in hand, why?

"The belief that single people are miserable, lonely and devoid of love, and want nothing more than being in a relationship are just myths," are the words of Bella DePaulo, a woman who has preferred to live in singleness for most of her 63 years of life.

Marriage was never within her plans, and although the decision to prefer not to have a sentimental partner may have been seen Strangely for her surroundings, for her it was a revelation that, in accompaniment of her profession, encouraged her to prove the benefits of singleness for health with the following sociological study.

Singleness and good health go hand in hand, why?

DePaulo, a psychologist at the University of California, in the United States, has become a defender of singleness, a sentimental situation that she considers is more beneficial that is detrimental -as most suggest-his own experience has made him believe with viccion on it, because he says that living single has been his “happily ever after.”

Decades of studies have been invested to investigate more people who choose to remain without a partner, in order to dispel the fear of being 'alone' and fighting stigma around singleness, relying on social sciences to expose the benefits of not having a partner.

One of their More recent research, conducted in 2016, involved 800 people distributed between single and married people.With this exploration I find that single people are not only stronger social relationships by owning complete mastery of free time management for interact with others, but have better physical conditions than people who are in a romantic relationship.

Singleness and good health go hand in hand, why?

Is love getting fat together? This phrase becomes more meaningful after knowing the results of what was observed by DePaulo and other specialists who embarked on the same exploration, for example, in a similar study carried out in 2015 by sociologists Natalia Sarkisian and Naomi Gerstel, in the who examined more than 13,000 men and women, aged 18 to 64, noted that married people were more likely to adopt less healthy habits , such as overeating and having low physical activity.

Instead, I notice that the highest percentage of singles spent more time exercising, or worrying more about improving their physical condition, than those in a relationship.

Directed to the same approach, in 2015 the journal Social Science and Medicine published a comparison on body mass indexes of 4,500 people from nine European countries, pointing out that the highest percentage of married couples threw ma yor body mass index than single people.On average, they weighed about five pounds more than those without a partner.

Singleness and good health go hand in hand, why?

Other aspects associated with personal growth and mental health were evaluated by DePaulo.In his book "Singled Out" , based on his studies, he shared that single people tend to take advantage of this stage of life to explore within their minds and get to know each other better themselves.

On the other hand, the author suggests that this time alone is not synonymous with loneliness.On the contrary, she considers that it is favorable to acquire a sense of freedom, which we becomes more productive, creative, and at the same time less codependent.

What do you think about this study? In our view, both sentimental moments can be beneficial if we learn to balance ourselves emotionally.How to do it? Maybe these tips guide you a bit:
