The Average Person Expects to Gain Eight Pounds Over the Holidays
Have we given up on staying even somewhat healthy around the holidays? Or are we just becoming more realistic with our estimates?
An annual poll found the average person expects to gain EIGHT POUNDS over the holidays this year. That’s up from seven pounds when the same survey was done a year ago . . . and six pounds in 2019.
90% of people said they’ll mostly just try to enjoy the holidays, and not worry too much about what they eat. 65% think they DESERVE to treat themselves this year.
The poll also looked at the top signs you’ve overindulged during the holidays . . .
48% of people have eaten so much at once, they had to undo a button or loosen their belt . . . 39% have eaten until they felt sick . . . and 39% have also deliberately worn stretchy pants to accommodate more food.
In general, people plan to just push their health goals to NEXT year again, and use it as their New Year’s resolution.
Our top health-related resolutions will be to exercise more and eat healthier.
You’re Using Antiperspirant Wrong . . . Put It on at Night, Not in the Morning
Here’s something else we’ve been doing wrong our whole life. You’re probably using ANTIPERSPIRANT incorrectly. You should really be putting it on at NIGHT, not in the morning. Here’s why . . .
First, we’re only talking about antiperspirant, not deodorant. Antiperspirant plugs your pores and prevents you from sweating. Most deodorants just mask the smell of B.O.
So why at night? It’s because your body temperature drops while you’re asleep, so you sweat less. And sweating too much can prevent it from doing its thing.
Basically, putting it on at night gives your skin more time to absorb the active ingredient, usually aluminum. And most antiperspirants are designed to work for 24 to 48 hours. So it’ll still work fine the next day.
Showering won’t wash it off, so you can still shower in the morning. And depending on how much you sweat, you might not even need to use it every day.
If you’re a deodorant person, here’s another tip: You shouldn’t put it on right after you get out of the shower.
Deodorant is meant to be used on skin that’s totally dry. So it works better if you wait until your pits have aired out, and there’s no moisture at all.
