Does weight gain and the inability to lose weight become harder as you grow older? Are you forced to find clothing that fits better because last year’s fits a little too snugly around the waist?
Research has shown that many people are likely to gain weight as their age progresses. Women can be expected to gain about 7 or 8 extra pounds, men can be seen to gain around 15 additional pounds.
Not only is the weight gain increased with age, but losing it becomes increasingly difficult at around the age of 30.
Difficulty in losing weight
There are a variety of reasons why losing weight becomes harder the older we are. There is not single culprit as there are many factors and reasons why weight loss is more difficult.
Biological factors for weight loss
A decrease in muscle mass is partially to blame for the difficulties in weight loss. As the body grows older, it also becomes less efficient, reliable, and there is a lack of energy.
All of this culminates into a brutal cycle in which the once strong muscle is replaced by fat.
Additionally, having a decrease in muscle also leads to a slower metabolism. As a result of having a lower metabolism, the body becomes less and less efficient at burning glucose.
This left over glucose that simply remains in the body is later turned into fat, which makes us rapidly gain weight.
Men:
A decrease in testosterone due to aging has a big impact in our ability to lose weight. It fuels metabolism, it allows for muscle growth, and it also serves as a way for the body to more easily use and burn fat.
Women:
A delicate balance of progesterone and estrogen are present in a woman’s body. There is a decrease in the levels of these two hormones at around the age of 35.
When this balance is disrupted, the regulation of fat, how it is used, and how it affects the body is seen in the effects it has on increased weight gain.
Lifestyle
With the every day struggles and balances of life, weight loss is not always the number one priority. Careers, family, and other responsibilities can keep us from looking after our own health.
It is also important to mention the more nefarious indulgences that lead to weight gain: an appetite for unhealthy food, alcoholic beverages, and a lack of exercise.
