Helping Folks Over 40 Look Better, Feel Better and Have More Energy To Do The Things They Love
Did you know that women over 40 experience a 50% drop in metabolism compared to their younger selves? ( READ THAT AGAIN!)
Here’s why this statistic is critical for your health and weight loss journey!
Understanding our bodies and how they change as we age is essential, especially when it comes to metabolism.
The reality is that many women find themselves feeling frustrated and powerless in their weight loss efforts. That’s not just about willpower—it’s about how your body is responding to those changes!
This staggering statistic can leave many women feeling defeated. If you’ve been trying hard to lose weight but not seeing results, it’s time to recognize that metabolic shifts are at play. But don’t lose hope!
There are tangible actions you can take to combat this drop in metabolism.
1) Focus on Strength Training: Incorporate strength training into your fitness routine at least 3 times a week. Building muscle is crucial because it inherently raises your metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories even at rest.
2) Prioritize Protein: Ensure you’re eating enough protein to support muscle repair and growth. Aim for lean sources of protein in each meal to help maintain a healthy metabolism.
3) Stay Active: Aside from structured workouts, find ways to stay active throughout the day. Small changes like walking more, using stairs, or even engaging in your favorite hobbies can make a difference.
