1. A Pound A Year
Yup! Unfortunately, the myth is
true.
People between their
40’s and 50’s can gain up to a pound a year despite having the same diet.
However, professionals have
attributed the cause to a lower rate of activity.
Simply put, we are not as
active as we used to be.
To fight the trend, establish
an exercise routine that will fit your schedule and you can easily follow.
Brisk walking at night, 2-3
yoga sessions a week or any other form of activity which will help you keep the
pound away would do.
2. Drink
More, Eat Less
Studies have shown that
drinking a full glass of water before eating, preferably warm, helps, a lot in
weight loss.
Why? If you’re tummy is full
from the water, you are more likely to eat less.
It would also be good to take
small sips in between your meals and before grabbing a snack.
Many times, we think our body
is asking for food when what we really need is a glass of water.
Drinking lots of water is very
beneficial for your body and is the best way to keep the pounds at bay.
3. Fruit Is
Our Friend
If you’ve decided to cut
fruits from your diet because of the sugar it contains, you’re making a huge
mistake.
Yes, fruits have sugar but it’s
the natural kind – what our body and mind burns as energy.
Fruit is also a good source of
natural fibre which helps in digestion and water which makes us feel full.
The nutrients we get from the
different fruits we eat is essential and thus promotes health and wellness.
4. Speed Up
Your Metabolism
It is natural for our
metabolism to slow down as we age.
That is why it is so
much more important to engage yourself in physical activity.
Don’t lose your muscle.
Build it up because the more
muscle you have, the greater number of calories you will burn.
Muscle also gives the body
beautiful shape.
5. Include
Fermented Food In Your Diet
Yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut
are some examples.
Digestive problems start to
become an issue at this point in your life and you will want to help your body
fight that.
Along with water and fruits,
fermented food also aid in digestion and are powerful for cleaning out build
ups of waste and toxins in your body.
Eat pro-biotics as well to keep
good bacteria working in your tummy.
Want a flat belly? Then
keep your tummy healthy.
6. Super
Foods
Let me name a few.
Eggs, for starters, has only 72
calories but 6 grams of protein.
Researchers have found
that having them for breakfast actually helps you slim down.
Brussel sprouts have more
glucosinolates in them than other vegetables.
These are compounds that
detoxify the body.
Oats are another super food.
Your body digests it slowly so
it keeps you full all morning.
It is beneficial for you to get
to know the super foods that will help your body stay healthy and keep it in
the shape you want.
7. Carbs To
Make You Slim
When we think carbs, we
immediately imagine the worst.
That’s because a lot of the
diets advertised these days actually make you cut them out completely.
It is exciting to know
that some carbs can actually keep us slim and help lower our cholesterol.
Of course, portion control when
it comes to carbohydrate intake is still key but food like brown or red rice
and whole grain breads and pasta can actually help the body in digestion thus
keeping it slim.
Don’t say no to carbs altogether.
The key is to choose the
carbohydrates you eat and make sure it benefits your body.
8. No
Skipping Meals
When we were younger,
skipping a meal was the fastest way to lose the weight we needed to.
That worked then; but as you
get older, you will notice that isn’t the case anymore.
The body no longer responds the
same way.
It actually stores up calories
to burn just in case it needs to thus packing in more pounds into your system.
The best way to keep your
weight down is to eat healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables several times a
day.
Yup, you’re better of having
small regular meals.
9. Low-Salt
Diet
We already know that salt makes
the body retain water and so we definitely want a low-salt diet.
Another thing salt does,
is make us eat more food.
According to studies, salt
messes with the messages within our body to tell us to stop eating and so we
end up eating more.
Interesting, huh> No more
salt!
10.
Full-Body Workouts
According to a fitness expert,
when you reach a certain age, full
body workouts are more effective in keeping your whole system healthy.
We make the mistake of simply
focusing on our core and that just won’t work.
Instead, engage your whole body
to have better results with your workout.
