The U50 period is a time when women's bodies face many major changes, especially hormonal decline and slower metabolism. This makes excess fat easily accumulate in the abdomen and thighs, and at the same time, bone and joint health also begins to decline.
Although aging is a natural law, it can be completely controlled by establishing and maintaining discipline with 5 habits to help housewives maintain health and a slim figure.
Early morning yoga
This is the most optimal exercise method for middle-aged women. After a long night of rest, the body is often sluggish, so spending about 30 minutes practicing Yoga right in the morning will help awaken all muscle groups, enhance blood circulation and flexibility for bones and joints.
Deep breathing exercises with stretch movements not only support burning energy but also help balance hormones and reduce stress. In particular, maintaining the habit of exercising every early morning will help the spirit always be relaxed and alert to start the working day effectively.
Increase protein, reduce starch
At the age of U50, muscle mass naturally decreases, making the body no longer firm. To overcome this, housewives should pay attention to their daily menu when they need to prioritize protein-rich foods such as fish, chicken breast, eggs, and beans.
Protein will help maintain firm muscles and create a feeling of fullness for a long time, while limiting snacking. Accordingly, it is necessary to reduce the amount of refined starch (white rice, cakes) and replace it with whole grains and sweet potatoes to stabilize blood sugar and prevent visceral fat accumulation.
Drink enough water
Water plays an important role in detoxifying and moisturizing the skin. Women in their U50s should maintain drinking 1.5 to 2 liters of water per day.
It is best to use warm water and drink it throughout the day. Especially a glass of warm water in the morning will help stimulate the digestive system to function smoothly and detoxify the body very well.
Quality sleep
Poor sleep will be an enemy of beauty and greatly affect health. Lack of sleep easily increases hormones causing hunger and disrupts metabolism. Therefore, sleeping enough 7-8 hours is necessary.
To have a good and deep sleep, you should limit the use of electronic devices and keep the bedroom always airy, without flashing light. A good night's sleep will help the body recover quickly, regenerate energy and balance emotions.
Periodic health check-ups
Prevention is better than cure, so a general health check-up every 6 months to 1 year will help detect early potential risks commonly encountered in middle age such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, blood fat or diabetes.
Understand your body's indicators will help housewives in their U50s to soon adjust their lifestyle in a timely manner, especially in their diet and exercise regimen.
