Age is Not an Excuse
It’s a fore-gone conclusion that with age, our bodies change. Unlike when we were young, now fat is stored in places we have to be concerned about.
When your metabolic rate slows, your digestive system doesn’t work as efficiently as it used to.
There is one constant and this constant is forever present and that is that if you eat too much food and drink too much alcohol coupled with a sedentary lifestyle, you will gain weight. Also, the shape you’re in can be affected by the hormonal changes in your body.
Many people use their age as an excuse for being over weight but this is not acceptable. Consider how many elderly people there are who are still slim, fit and healthy and you will see that age is not an excuse.
Lifestyles create the body we have to live with and the effects of poor lifestyle choices are multiplied as we age because the abuse that we have been giving our body through poor food choices throughout our life accumulates with fat and other health related problems due to poor nutrition.
Maintaining your fat percentage at an optimum level throughout your life is what you should do. The dividends it pays are; A better quality of life, reduced dependence on medication, avoiding other health related expenditures as you age
Anyone at any age can benefit from improved nutrition and exercise.
You will live longer and happier by reducing the excess levels in your body fat.
Starting on an exercise program and taking care to improve your nutrition is the best way to turn back the body clock and it is never too late to start winding back the years. Obviously the sooner you start the better but starting is the essential ingredient that you need right now.
