5 ways to increase metabolism in people over 50 years old

HẠ MÂY (Theo aboluowang) |

After age 50, we need to do some ways to help increase metabolism.

Weightlifting

By age 50, you will lose 20% of your muscle mass compared to when you were 20. Muscles can increase your basal metabolic rate and losing muscle means your basal metabolic rate will decrease.

Regular weight training can help you convert excess fat into strong, solid muscle, which speeds up your metabolism.

Check hormone levels

As we age, progesterone and other hormones can decrease, making it harder for the body to lose weight. The hormone that women over 50 want to lose weight should focus on is testosterone.

Balanced Testosterone can reduce blood sugar levels, support weight loss and eliminate belly fat.

Choose exercises that put less pressure on joints

People in their 50s may be afraid of exercising because of tired and painful joints. Walking, cycling, dancing and yoga are also options that do not require much strength.

Control your diet

We should replace snacks with lots of fruits, vegetables and lean protein that can increase satiety and help you reduce calories easily.

Pay attention to stress

Being too busy without time to exercise can also lead to overeating for emotions. Therefore, you should maintain regular exercise not only to help relieve stress but also to support a normal diet.
