A new survey reveals that 71 million Americans have gained weight throughout the pandemic, and worse, they feel bad about it, posing not only physical but emotional health issues. The survey found that 63 percent of Americans believe leading a healthy lifestyle is made tougher by the at home work and other hardships (stress, homeschooling, job loss) imposed on us during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the number one group has been mothers of young children. The survey, conducted by biotechnology company Gelesis, found that over half (52 percent) of Americans have been feeling down about the way they look during the pandemic, and 3 in 5 Americans are on a mission to lose weight.
