Holiday Weight Gain Leads to Obesity
A new study suggests that Americans probably
gain about a pound during the winter holiday season-but this extra weight
accumulates through the years and may be a major contributor to obesity
later in life.
This finding runs contrary to the popular
belief that most people gain from five to ten pounds between Thanksgiving
and New Year's Day.
This conclusion was reached by researchers
at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
(NIDDK). "These findings suggest that developing ways to avoid holiday
weight gain may be extremely important for preventing obesity and the
diseases associated with it," said NICHD Director Duane Alexander,
M.D.
