How to effectively increase metabolism and reduce belly fat after 50

Thanh Thanh (T/H) |

Some effective ways to increase metabolism and reduce belly fat after 50 years old include daily exercise, not skipping breakfast, getting enough sleep...

Daily activities

Short daily activities such as walking briskly for about 10 minutes can help improve insulin sensitivity, support blood sugar control and increase energy. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day, which can be divided into several sessions. The important thing is not the intensity of movement, but the need to maintain it regularly every day.

Pay attention to strength training

Strength training is an important factor in maintaining muscle, strengthening bones and joints and keeping a balanced figure. Spending time on exercises such as light weightlifting, resistance bands or bodyweight exercises can also bring clear results.

Muscle training not only supports your resting metabolism but also helps reduce fat, especially in the abdomen - an area where fat accumulates with age.

Don't miss breakfast

Breakfast rich in protein and fiber plays an important role in stabilizing blood sugar and boosting metabolism throughout the day. Supplementing fermented foods like Greek yogurt not only provides protein but also supports gut health - a key factor in energy metabolism.

A high-protein diet also helps build and maintain lean muscle mass, while limiting cravings. For women over the age of 50, consuming 2030 grams of high-quality protein per meal can help control blood sugar, maintain muscle mass and effectively reduce fat.

Control stress

Reducing stress not only improves mood but also helps control belly fat effectively. Maintaining daily exercises such as yoga, meditation or taking a short walk can help reduce cortisol levels - a hormone directly related to stress.

Get 7-8 hours of sleep each night

Aiming to build healthy sleep habits is an important step to get a deep, truly relaxing sleep. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep each night helps regulate hormones and reduce cortisol levels.

Good sleep habits also contribute to reducing inflammation, supporting weight control and reducing fat accumulation in the abdomen - an area prone to hormonal disorders and prolonged lack of sleep.
