A little endurance and physical exercises plus healthy eating rules - several ways can help lose weight at this difficult age after 50 years.
The higher the age bar, the more difficult it is to keep the weight characteristic of a slim figure. Metabolism becomes sluggish, menopause increases in women - the body does not have enough resources to actively participate in all physiological processes. At the age of 50, losing weight is much more difficult than after 30.
At the same time, experts state, the goal of losing weight is not unattainable even at this stage of life. They named ways that help lose weight after the 50th birthday.
Use spices and seasonings. Studies have shown that people who add cayenne pepper to their food experience less cravings for sweet, fatty foods. Supplementing the diet, spices and seasonings stimulate metabolic processes, which helps to maintain or reduce weight, experts note.
Eat like children. Sometimes it seems like it takes forever for a child to finish his portion. Eating slowly is one of the best ways to stay slim, nutritionists emphasize. It has been scientifically proven that chewing food for at least 30 seconds after each bite causes a feeling of satiety even before the plate is finally empty.
"The feeling of satiety arises only after a certain time. Chewing for a long time helps to save calories and lose weight," doctors suggest.
Regular exercises. Not every sport is suitable for activities over the age of 50. But swimming, hiking, walking, cycling - these are quite mild loads for the body.
“For weight loss after 50, it is important to focus on developing muscle mass to stimulate metabolism. Even small but regular movements can help achieve the goal," the magazine writes.
Don't count calories. Practice shows: choosing healthy, useful food is much more effective than monitoring its calorie content.
"People tend to use processed foods. But it is better to get rid of the need to monitor calories and choose whole natural products," the scientists named another method.
Turn off the TV. Eating in front of the TV makes a person consume 13-25 percent more, as attention is distracted and not focused on food. For weight loss, it is important to eat without distractions.
