When it comes to weight control, cutting out junk food-eating friends may be just as important as cutting out fatty foods, according to a study out of the Netherlands.
In this study, we make food choices partly based on what the people around us are eating. The scientists found that people were more likely to eat unhealthy foods if they dined with someone who typically made poor food choices.
Although the study didn’t investigate this, the researchers recommend dining out with health conscious people more often may promote better health.

Zeenat BurdickYes you are right.I live in Australia but my family from my side lives overseas are all very fit. Few yeras back I went with my son who was very big about 100kg just 15yrs were shocked to see him. They put him on diet and as soon as he came back to Australia he stopped eating junk food, cut down his carbohydrate, sugary juice and start eating lots of green vegies and dringking lots of water start doing exercises. Can you imaginge he lost 35kgs within 3 months and because of him my husband who was also little bit fat and myself I am not very fat still lost quite a bit of weight. We all looked fit. My son’s friends and my friends couldn’t believe it. My son got his confidence back started working in Macdonald made more friends in school and within few months he was a team leader in his work. Once he got his confidence back he changed his job and now he is 19yrs still slim and handsome doing very well and got better job and he is in UNI. Exercice, healthy food and health conscious friends are the best remedies for healthy life. Zeenat
it is true. health conscious people mix and exchange ideas and try to become healthier.listening to someones woes and about sickness make the listener sad. for happy days and peace of mind one should associate with like minded people and be in constant touch
I tend agree with this article. You only have to look at obese familes- parents and there children are alike.
This obviously not the childrens fault just the parents conditioning minds.
Also, being around like minded people has an enormous effect on some people. If you are with people who Are constantly moaning and complaining they drag you down with them. I try my best to counteract this with a positive answer or statement.
Healthy, happy influences make it a better world to live in!
