Did you know snooping can make you fat?

If you’re tempted to check that cell phone, Google that salary or listen in on that chat – loosen your belt first – it could make you fat...

Jeffrey M. Schwartz, author of “You Are Not Your Brain,” says habitual snooping does a number on a person’s physical and psychological health.

Doctor Schwartz explains snooping is super stressful. Worrying about being caught in the act of snooping and trying to cover your tracks as you poke around in other people’s business - triggers the production of cortisol and can lead to an increase in appetite. Snoopers are also at risk for high blood pressure and memory loss due to the overactive fight-or-flight response.
