5 Ways to Get Healthier with Your Husband
Eating better and getting fit is easier when you partner up.
Think about it: When your husband breaks out a pint of ice cream, do you dig in too? Are you more motivated to take a walk if he offers to tag along? If you answered yes, then you know just how significant your spouse's impact on your health can be. And a study in JAMA Internal Medicine found that when one partner began exercising more, lost weight, or stopped smoking—all of which can lower the risk of heart disease—the other was likelier to make a positive change too. So tackle these heart-healthy challenges as a team with these easy tips from health experts.
