That's actually true because fat is usually the indicator of poverty in the US at least. Because they're the ones who tends to buy the cheapest and unhealthiest microwave food and they tend to be less motivated. Rich people have the options to go organic and a much more expensive but healthier meals. It's not the weight loss treatment but the lifestyle itself. Born rich with busy parents are either of them.

Yes. They can afford to buy healthy foods that taste better.

Lots of reasons.
Reduced stress, when you are constantly struggling for money or living unsafe areas you are going to be stressed out. When you are stressed out it affects your body’s ability to digest and process food. Which will lead to weight gain and an increased allergy sensitivity.
also, you can buy better quality food. You can spend 10 dollars on cheese instead of 99cents for example. you can buy oysters for lunch instead of 2 dollar ramen noodles. You get the drift.
also, in general your surroundings are usually nicer. Which will make you feel better on a day to day basis. Like you are in the land in a fantasy world where the trees look enchanted in magical and cozy. This kind of shit is really motivating for you to live your best life and you will want to eat healthier.
You have more money to do social activities when wealthier so more incentive to look better to go out more.
you have more money to buy nice clothing so more incentive to look good in them.
i could go on and on and on.Best to look at older people and not young people since some young people are only fit because their metabolism makes it easy. With older people it tends to take more work to be fit. The vast majority of rich people (that I've seen) are fit. Even if they're 85 years old. To those who say it's because they have a personal trainer: a personal trainer doesn't lift weights for you. You still have to have the drive to go out and play sports/lift weights every week. The drive someone who sits at home and watches Netflix while eating a tub of ice cream every day just doesn't have. Studies have shown that rich people EAT HEALTHIER. That's probably a key ingredient too. Eat right plus exercise is a winning combination.
Being successful needs patience among other abilities. Obesity is result of inability to restrain reward in shape of food, it's the opposite of patience. I guess they learned to be patient on their way to success and gained control over their desire for food.
The other reason is very likely quality of food. People who own restaurants will tell you there difference, between rich customers who prefer protein rich seafood and meat dishes and poorer customers who prefer carbs like noodles and potatoes.I don't think it's so much about being rich, but more about having the time to take care of yourself and making it a priority. If you are always worried about where your next meal is coming from and always hustling to get ahead, cooking good meals and exercise can get put on the back burner. You can make that easier by hiring a chef, trainer, etc, but you can do all this yourself too. It just has to be a priority.
It's definitely a major factor. 🤔 There's even proof that people start to care more about the environment when they are not in poverty. So, I imagine that when we have enough money to not struggle, it can be easier to make the choice of delaying gratification.
Especially for those who are high in conscientiousness. Because being somewhat physically fit will allow them to ge more done. And wealthy people tend to be higher in concientiousness.Not entirely but there is a factor involved here. Rich people can eat better healthier food. If you only have X amount for food each month and you can buy enough unhealthy food to make it the whole months or good quality healthy food but only have enough for two weeks... that would be a problem.
At the same time if someone is rich they likely worked hard for it, however if someone is filthy rich and need not work. They are likely travelling more, out and about.
Us poor folk we go to work and go home, no time or money to do much else. Heck affording a gym membership is hard enough let alone finding time to go. If one need not work, then naturally they can find time, be it at a Gym or have a at home gym they can use daily.
I'd say more than money is time... if I didn't have to work I'd be a lot healthier, assuming all my bills and stuff was taken care of. I'd be very unhealthy if I was homeless and not working, starvation is not very healthy.I think there's two reason
The rich eat a wider range of foods and better quality. The poor overindulge in junk food.
The rich have busy lives and tend to only eat at meal times rather than non stop eating in front of the T. V. like poor people.It's not always the case, of course, but I think it tends to be - not necessarily simply because there's money, but often because better money tends to bring a few more opportunities for some things to get easier and less stressful, and you have more opportunities perhaps to work out more or improve your health.
I think money tends to bring more OPPORTUNITIES for being thin. If you make high six figures a year... let's say a couple pulls in 300K a year - you have money for a gym. You probably have some money for nutritionists, maybe cooks, doctors, personal trainers/coaches, maids, nannies, etc. You might have more time at work, maybe... but you have more time dedicated to working out, and more justification for it. If you don't like going to a gym, you can probably make a pretty decent home gym. Or you're more likely to live in an area with access to nice safe parks or trails - a natural way to get that vitamin D and gone ride, walk or run.If you're rich and can enjoy your time outside of the work that brings in the moolah, you only have your life important other things to care about. Your partner, your eventual family, and of course your own health.
As being slim and fit is more healthy than being fat or obese, being slim is generally standard for wealthy people.
I myself am quite wealthy, and I weight 85kg while being 1,81m. Also a bit muscular under a rather thin layer of fat. I like training and working out but I'll never say no to a slice of bread and Nutella.There is a causal relationship between IQ and income.
People who have greater incomes are more intelligent and have greater self esteem.
This means that they are intelligent enough to know what to eat and what to avoid.
They are also more motivated to exercise.
Wealthy people also tend to be better looking, because rich men have their pick of women, which means that the woman's DNA will be passed on to her children.People who are higher on the socio economic scale have more access to better nutrition , gyms and other health related items.
Poorer people have diets loaded with junk food and do not exercise. They are more prone to obesity and the conditions that accompany it.No thin people have more energy and hench has easier to earn money. So it's the other way around thin people can much easier become rich. Rich people can easily become fat, and then their progress usually slow down.
Shit food is cheap as hell. And anything with quality/good for you is $$$. I mean I understand why. Much more work goes into natural foods. But it’s an expensive world now a days and it’s cheaper to buy the junk.
They have time for exercise and money for fresh food.
Foid that is healthier is generally more expensive.
Nope.
Personal trainers and better quality food is the main reason they are usually in better health.It's pretty easy to lose weight if you have a home gym, personal trainer and can afford to eat healthy food.
no they lazy and dont eat vegtables or run 3 miles 5 days week
some decide to eat whole foods that aren't always available or easy to find unlike fast food
I find myself not eating when I am stressed from work. You just do not even think about it
