You Are as Healthy as Your Mate, According to Study

Research based on thousands of couples around the world revealed that husbands and wives often share the same medical histories and even have similar blood pressures!

The phrase “In sickness and in health” isn’t just something couples recite on their wedding day.  New research revealed that husbands and wives around the world often share the same medical histories.  It’s likely due to people gravitating towards others in similar social circles, educational backgrounds, and even similar weights.  Researchers believe this leads to similar lifestyle habits and physical traits.  A total of 5,400 couples were studied and the experts behind it say the majority had similar blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides levels.
