When people reach middle age, they basically begin to become blessed and fat after the age of 40, and their bodies appear bloated. Fat loss is also more laborious.
Why are people more likely to gain weight in middle age?
Let's take a look at the coming and going of human energy. We are basically carbohydrate for energy, because the food we consume is mainly starches such as rice and flour. After starchy foods enter the human body, they are converted into glucose and enter the bloodstream. Blood transports glucose to all parts of the body, enters cells under the transport of insulin, and is converted into energy in the cells for us to maintain normal life activities.
If you eat more for breakfast, more glucose will be sent to the cells. In the period before lunch, if there is no big energy expenditure, the cells will welcome the lunch glucose when there is still a lot of glucose. This will make the cells bigger and bigger, and over time, the body will convert the excess glucose in the cells into fat for storage. The human body becomes rounded and fatty.
Part of the energy consumed into our body is used for normal life support, which is to ensure the normal operation of our various organs and tissues. Some is used to support various additional physical and mental activities. If there is less extra activity, the energy intake is theoretically small. If it is a large amount of energy intake and there is no excess energy consumption, it will lead to excess energy.
After a certain age, the function of various organs begins to decline, and the metabolic operation of the human body decreases and weakens. The utilization of energy is not high, and fat is easier to store. It is easier to gain weight.
After the age of 35, cardiopulmonary function begins to age, and respiratory efficiency gradually declines. In other words, the amount of oxygen ingested into the body is reduced, and the burning of fat requires sufficient oxygen, and the less oxygen, the less burning activities. On the other hand, the activity of the body's organs is weakened, and the need for energy is also reduced compared to when it was younger.
Another effect of age on weight is hormones, which have a huge impact on body shape and skin. Androgens will help improve the efficiency of fat burning, make people energetic, full of exercise desire, promote muscle building, reduce the proportion of body fat in the body, and make men look man. Estrogen can keep the skin hydrated, promote skin metabolism and blood circulation, make the skin soft and delicate, and selectively concentrate fat on the breasts, thighs, and buttocks, so that women's bodies are beautiful and curved. But hormone levels decrease with age. Leads to blessings.
Knowing the reason for the blessing, the right prescription is the solution.
Exercise is the first choice for staying young and in shape, sweaty aerobic exercise, while consuming stored fat, but also exercising cardio function. Increase oxygen uptake. Sweat is also the best lotion, giving the skin a radiant and smooth color. Maintaining a certain intensity of exercise is very helpful for hormone secretion, and it will also be more youthful and anti-aging.
If you are old and exercise habitually, as long as you do not exercise for a period of time, you will obviously feel that the belly fat increases, the muscles relax, and the state declines. It recovers quickly after continuous exercise. But if the fatter you are, the less you want to move. So, don't stop, life is in motion.
Reduce the intake of carb foods. High-carb diet, glucose energy supply will produce a large number of free radicals, accelerate the body's oxidation, accelerate aging. A long-term high-carb diet will increase the desire for carb intake, produce sugar addiction dependence, and increase appetite. Controlling carbs, increasing dietary fiber intake and ensuring adequate daily drinking of water will be conducive to maintaining weight stability.
