According to health researchers, a healthy relationship boosts medical fitness. This makes me wonder about the relationship between health and a good partner. So if you are like me and keen on finding out how your partner shapes your health, welcome onboard.
Your blood
pressure, sleep, and lots more can be influenced by your partner. Does this
sound like I'm exaggerating? Let’s get into the details of the article.
Unity
You can add
or lose weight in your relationship, courtesy to the kind of partner you have.
Sounds silly? It's not.
Positive: Let's take a closer look. If your
partner is a fitness devotee, you'd be left with no choice but to follow
him/her to the gym and shed off some weight. He/ she is likely to motivate you
on carrying out a regular fitness routine.
Negative: But that's not all. Frequent
conflicts with your partner can cause you to take up sleep problems and
passive-aggressive eating habits which would cause excess weight gain.
Additionally,
a peaceful relationship devoid of mental stress and domestic abuse is a top
factor for good Body Mass Index. No worries, no pains.
Sex
Sex does not
make up a healthy relationship. You're dead right. But just like everything
else, sex is another determining factor of your mental health. But how?
Research has
shown that regular sex reduces stress and improves general well-being. If your
partner fails in this bedroom activity, you stand a risk of been exposed to a
high level of stress.
The bottom
line is this. You can strive to stay off mental stress all by yourself, but
your partner would make it easier for you.
Behavioral
change
It is an
undisputed fact that your partner can make you quit a bad habit or pick it up.
Sounds familiar? Well, I'm going to blow up all of it right here.
Now and then,
you get to see that inscription “smokers are liable to die young”. But for some
reason, you find it super difficult to stop smoking and prolong your years.
But one
thing's for sure. Your partner can get you to quit and positively influence
your health.
In the same
manner, your partner can cause you to pick up an unhealthy habit and endanger
your health.
Sleep
issues
It is funny
how so many people battle with their partner's sleeping habits. While some
people are professional snorers, some may be busy tossing all around the bed
till date break.
This could
stop you from having a quality sleep. Isn't it? Chances are that you would be
deprived of quality sleep if your partner is suffering from insomnia. In the
end, your health becomes affected because a quality sleep would equal a healthy
life and not the other way round.
So it all
adds up to this. As much as you can decide how much of a healthy life you want,
your partner is everything you need to make that work.
