Your age is not your weight problem
If you’ve been gaining weight each year and blaming it all on getting older, well, sorry, but that’s not a very good excuse.
Yes, it’s true that as we age, changes in our hormones make gaining weight easier. In women, they can contribute to decreased muscle mass and energy, and increased belly fat and insulin resistance. But, ummm, those things are all within your control, just like they’ve always been.
The more we eat clean, live clean, and work out, the better our hormone balance will be, and the healthier our metabolisms will remain. Yep. That weight gain is still related to our lifestyle choices.
Keep exercising. Whether you like doing it is not the question here. You need to do it for your health. You know, so you can continue to enjoy your career, travel, kids and grandkids, hobbies, friends… life. Your body needs exercise like it needs air and water.
Eat whole foods, preferably foods that are not loaded with pesticides, herbicides, and chemicals. Whole foods (”the way they grow” as opposed to processed or packaged) help fight disease and balance hormone levels.
Stay vigilant about your health for as long as you live, and you’ll live longer to enjoy it!
