The rich may be getting richer, but the poor are getting much more than they desire. According to a recent study in Germany, it has been confirmed that those with mounting debt also see mounting numbers on the scale. Says leading researcher Dr. Eva Munster:
“We’ve shown that debt can be associated with the probability of being overweight or obese, independent of [income, education and occupational status]…”
…certain lifestyle changes linked to debt, such as restricted daily activities, “comfort eating” and poorer available food choices may all contribute to packing on pounds during financial hard times.
It appears that those of us seeking to lose weight would benefit by reducing our debt as much as possible as well! Conversely, for those wishing to avoid obesity, try cutting up those credit cards and opening a savings account.

Blame Debt | Surviving Fitness. And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be simply me or does it look as if like a few of the remarks look like they are written by brain dead visitors?
And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Would you make a list of all of all your public pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
I have been surfing the web more than 2 hours today, and this is the best article I’ve come across. I’m a content fiend so I’ve actually seen a lot already.Personally I think, if all website owners and bloggers made as great content as youhave, the net would bemuch more useful than ever before.
