1. Start your day with warm water mixed with lemon or apple cider vinegar
This drink helps activate the digestive system, supports fat metabolism and reduces cravings. According to the Mayo Clinic, drinking warm water in the early morning helps improve bowel movements and eliminate toxins - which is especially helpful for premenopausal women.
2. Prioritize a breakfast rich in protein, low in starch
A breakfast diet with eggs, Greek yogurt, nuts and vegetables helps maintain energy throughout the morning, avoiding belly fat accumulation. Harvard Health shows that people who eat a rich breakfast tend to lose weight more effectively thanks to good control of hunger hormones.
3. Increase walking time by 30 minutes a day
At age 50, light but regular exercise such as brisk walking helps reduce visceral fat, increase blood circulation and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. You can divide it into 2 sessions in the morning and afternoon, each 15 minutes for easy maintenance.
4. Get 7-8 hours of sleep each night
Lack of sleep disrupts hormones, causing the body to store fat instead of burn fat. Women in their 50s need to get enough sleep to regulate estrogen and leptin - two hormones that play an important role in metabolism and satiety.
5. Drink enough water, limit sugary drinks
Water helps increase satiety, supporting calorie burning. Limiting soft drinks and bottled juices is a simple but effective way to reduce the amount of "illegal" calories in the day.
