无论浪漫喜剧和你爱管闲事的奶奶会告诉你什么,单身不是世界末日.事实上,独自翱翔有很多真正的好处.无论你选择单身还是处于空窗期,这里有11个科学支持的理由提醒你,单身其实可以很棒.
1. SINGLE PEOPLE EXERCISE MORE…
单身人士锻炼得更多
If you're single, there's a good chance you're hitting the gym more often than your married peers: A 2011 study found that men and women who have never been married exercised more than people in any other marital category (including currently married men and women, as well as divorcees and widowers).
如果你单身,与已婚的同龄人相比,很有可能你在健身房里挥汗如雨的时间更多.2011年的一项研究发现,与那些和婚姻有过羁绊的人(包括已婚、离异和丧偶人士)相比,从未结过婚的男士和女士锻炼的更多.
2. …AND MAINTAIN A HEALTHIER WEIGHT.
单身人士的体重更健康
You're also more likely to maintain a healthy weight. Multiple studies have found that men and women tend to pack on the pounds after they get married. One study found that married men are more likely to be overweight than their single peers, while another found that women who lost weight in preparation for their weddings had a tendency to gain weight in the six months following the ceremony.
你的体重也更可能健康.已有多个研究发现,男士和女士在婚后倾向于发福.一项研究发现,已婚男士比单身汉更有可能超重,而另外一项研究则发现,为了婚礼减肥的女士可能在婚礼过后六个月内长胖.
3. THEY SLEEP BETTER.
单身人士睡得更香
It should come as little surprise that sharing a bed with another human being can affect how much sleep you get. After all, having someone tossing and turning, snoring, and talking in their sleep beside you can affect even the deepest sleepers. Being single cuts down on nighttime disruptions and can help you get a more peaceful night's sleep.
与另外一个人同床共枕会影响睡眠这一点不太令人惊讶.毕竟,枕边有个人在辗转反侧,打呼,说梦话,即便平时睡得最香的人也会被影响.单身的话就不必担心这些夜间的打扰,可以让你睡得更安然.
