Middle-aged fat is very common in daily life, not only people who are prone to obesity, but also some people who are not fat when they eat when they are young, and there will be a lot of fat in the waist and abdomen after middle age, which seems to be a fat appearance.
So, why are middle-aged people prone to getting rich? In fact, the main reason is that after middle age, the functions of the human body will slowly decline from a peak, and the metabolic capacity will also decline, and the decline in metabolic level means that the body's calorie consumption will decrease, even if the eating habits remain unchanged, the metabolism will be reduced, and the calorie intake will be greater than the calorie consumption, so this is the main reason for a person's middle-aged fortune.
So, how to improve metabolism and maintain a good figure in daily life?
First: Adjust your eating habits
When people reach middle age, they should avoid overeating, hungry and full eating habits, try to quit smoking and drinking, refuse high-fat and high-calorie foods, and usually supplement foods with high protein content.
Many people don't know that protein can be used to improve metabolism, in fact, with age, muscle is slowly lost, and sufficient protein can promote muscle synthesis and growth, the body's muscle mass increases, which can prevent metabolic decline to a certain extent.
At the same time, the ingested protein will not be easily digested by the stomach and intestines, and the body will tune up more energy to break it down, and the calorie burning will be accelerated, reducing the chance of fat formation, which will help avoid middle-aged fat. Foods high in protein include eggs, lean meats, chicken breasts, beef, dairy products, and soy products, all of which are good choices.
Second: increase exercise consumption
Exercise can be said to be a very effective and very simple way to increase the metabolic rate, through exercise, the activity metabolism is improved, you can make up for the decline in basal metabolism and reduce the consumption, so that the overall metabolic level of the body can remain stable, or even improved.
It is recommended that middle-aged people should maintain a certain amount of exercise, such as running, brisk walking, swimming, climbing, cycling, etc., and can also occasionally carry out strength training, insist on 30 minutes each time, about 5 times a week, the body will have considerable consumption, reduce fat accumulation, enhance muscle strength, improve cardiopulmonary function, and promote physical health.
In addition to regular exercise, it is recommended to make use of daily activities, such as walking more, standing more after eating, doing more housework, and riding a bicycle on the way to and from work, and climbing stairs instead of elevators when returning home from work.
Third: Get a good night's sleep every day
Nowadays, many people will stay up late and refuse to go to bed until the early hours of the morning, although the damage to the body is not obvious if they occasionally stay up late, but if they sleep late for a long time, the sleep time is less than 6 hours a day, which will destroy the stability of metabolic levels and may continue to decline.
The later people go to bed, the more likely they are to be hungry, and at this time they can't help but eat, and after the food calories are ingested into the body, they cannot be fully burned, which is converted into fat and affects hormone secretion.
In addition, if you often do not get enough sleep at night, your mental state will be poor during the day, and you will feel very tired, and the body will not have enough energy to maintain functional activities, and the metabolic level will be reduced.
Therefore, it is necessary to rest early every day and try to improve the quality of sleep, which will help all aspects of the body function efficiently and maintain a normal metabolic rate, which will play a positive role in maintaining a slim figure.
