Age at greatest risk of getting fat: 44 years for males and 38 years for females
According to the Russian "Healthy Life" news network on June 2, the British "Daily Mail" announced that the age at which men are most likely to get fat is 44 years old and women is 38 years old.
Experts have confirmed that the age group at which men most need to pay attention to their figure and control their weight is 40 to 45 years old, while women are 35 to 40 years old. Among them, the ages at which men and women are most likely to gain weight are 44 and 38 respectively. Generally, people stop exercising and pay less attention to a balanced diet at this age.
Among them, the main reason why women are prone to gain weight during this period is related to family. Because during this period, most women had not lost their postpartum fat, and their lifestyles had changed. They often had to eat twice a meal, which was more likely to lead to obesity. On the contrary, the reason for men to gain weight is divorce, because after divorce, men eat irregular foods and often drink alcohol.
Nutritionists warn that as we get older, the body needs fewer and fewer calories, and by middle age, the average daily calories need will be reduced by 200 calories. But many people don't realize this, so they continue to eat as usual, which leads to obesity. Previously, some scholars pointed out that the best age for men to change their diet system is 31 years old and for women it is 32 years old.
How can women prevent obesity in middle age?
As you age, changes within the body may develop in two directions. On the one hand, the amount of calories required decreases and the storage of remaining calories increases; on the other hand, the body's ability to process food and absorb nutrients gradually weakens. As a result, a 45-year-old person's food intake is similar to that of a 20-year-old person, but the energy intake of the former is more easily converted into body weight than is difficult to nourish the body. Therefore, choosing an appropriate diet is important to prevent weight gain.
1. In order to prevent getting fat, when eating:
1. Small and multiple meals
People who eat small and multiple meals lose weight faster than those who eat three meals a day.
2. Eat breakfast
If you skip breakfast, you may eat more for lunch or dinner, which is not conducive to weight loss.
3. Eat less for dinner
Because there are generally fewer activities at night, there are fewer calories to consume.
4. Drink plenty of water
Drink 6 to 8 cups of water every day. Water helps stimulate the metabolism of fat in the body and suppresses appetite. Water can also prevent body fluids from retaining, and drinking enough water can allow the body to replace stored body fluids in a timely manner.
5. Eat slowly
Try to choose what you eat that takes time to chew. Slow down the speed of eating can help you strengthen your brain, have time to form a satiety signal, and eliminate hunger.
2. Appropriate exercise and physical activity to prevent obesity
Scientists believe that 99% of the human body contains a large amount of reserve energy, and exercise can mobilize this potential to reverse the aging process. Regardless of age, exercise maintains the strength of bone tissue, enhances heart and lung function, improves skin elasticity and helps the body absorb nutrients.
There are many ways to exercise, such as walking, jogging, gymnastics and other fitness exercises. Everyone can choose the appropriate exercise according to their specific circumstances. As long as 1 hour of moderate-intensity exercise per day (equivalent to 6000 steps), the energy consumption) allows excessive energy to be consumed through exercise to achieve energy balance.
As long as you adhere to a balanced diet for a long time, reasonable nutrition and appropriate exercise can maintain a healthy weight, reduce diseases, and promote health.
How can men prevent obesity in middle age?
Men, especially middle-aged men, are most likely to have a beer belly or become obese. Therefore, for the sake of physical and mental health, we should pay more attention to diet and life to avoid excessive gain. Obesity can cause many diseases. Such as high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.
Eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat, especially pork. You can eat fish, which is as light as possible. Eat 7 cents per meal, not too much.
Do more exercise, such as running, mountain climbing, cycling, swimming, playing ball, etc. You can also exercise while doing housework at home, such as sweeping the floor with a broom.
Those with a fitness ball can lie flat on the fitness ball, feet flat on the ground, hands on the sides of your head, and arms open. Draw your chin slightly towards your chest, exhale, contract your abdominal muscles and lift your upper body about 45 degrees, hold for 2 seconds, and then slowly return to the starting position. To maintain balance, you can spread your feet more apart. If it increases the difficulty, you can do it with your feet together.
There is also a very effective abdominal weight loss method. The use of kneading and massage cream is a good way to improve fat. Massage can increase the temperature of the skin, consume a lot of energy, promote intestinal peristalsis, reduce the absorption of nutrients by the intestine, promote blood circulation, and allow excess water to be discharged from the body. With the navel as the center, place a question mark on the abdomen and massage along the question mark, first on the right side and then on the left side, massaging 30-50 times each, once a day.
