A Good Influence
A girlfriend can have a positive impact on your health, according to an April 2012 study from the University of Minnesota Medical School. Researchers found that if someone makes healthy eating and exercise a priority, her long-term partner is more likely to do the same. If your girlfriend is whipping up tasty, nutritious meals for you both and encouraging you to get off the sofa and go out for a run, you are going to reap the benefits, both mentally and physically.
