Middle-aged people tend to gain weight more quickly than young adults.
It is because their basal metabolic rate slows down. Basal metabolic rate is the minimum amount of energy necessary to support our body's very most basic functions (such as pumping blood and breathing). As the basal metabolic rate decreases, the energy consumption decreases. So, if one keeps the same calorie (energy) intake, he/she gains weight.
As we get older, we tend to choose easy ways like using an elevator instead of stairs and driving instead of walking.
Start being active before it is too late.
If we do not get enough exercise, our muscles will weaken and our bodies will be out of shape.
Besides increasing our basal metabolic rate, exercise brings numerous benefits to our bodies such as reducing body fat, preventing muscles from weakening and bone loss. DietMaster recommends the combination of the following three types of exercise.
- Aerobic Exercise to burn body fat
- Muscle Training to shape up body
- Stretching to make muscles flexible
It is important to create your own pace and continue to stay active.
