Don’t Try and Blame it on Your Age
January 1st, 2009 Posted by: Ike Lowe
Factually speaking, as we age, our bodies change. As the change to our bodies become more apparent, we now have to worry about places of stored fat that we didn’t have to worry about before.
The metabolism slows and the digestive system doesn’t work as well as it once did.
If you eat too much of the wrong food, drink too much alcohol and don’t exercise on a regular basis, you will gain weight and that will always be true. Although hormonal changes in the body can also affect the shape you’re in but good diet and exercise are the keys to maintaining good health and a reasonable weight.
Many people use their age as an excuse for being over weight but this is not acceptable. Consider how many elderly people there are who are still slim, fit and healthy and you will see that age is not an excuse.
We abuse our bodies with the poor lifestyle choices we make. As we age, the poor lifestyle choices multiply and the end results are; overweight and other related health problem brought on by poor nutrition.
Throughout your life, you should maintain your fat percentage at an optimum level. By doing so, the health benefits are large like; a better quality of life, reduced dependence on medications and save money on costly medications and avoiding other health related problems as you age.
You can benefit from improved nutrition and exercise at any stage in your life, no matter how old you are.
A longer and happier life can be expected by using anything that will reduce the excess levels in your body fat.
If you want to turn back your body clock, start an exercise program and improve your nutritional intake. It’s never too late to start and clearly the sooner you start the better.
