If your friends are on the chubby side – there’s a good chance you’ll join them there...
A study from the New England Journal of Medicine is saying we can actually “catch” obesity from our heavier close friends. They followed over 12 thousand people and determined those of us with very close friends who are obese have a 171% greater chance of winding up obese ourselves.
If you’ve got any skinny friends – you might want to visit with them a little more. The study also found that the friend-weight phenomenon can work both ways.
