Tips on weight loss after thirty-nine

As you get older, all kinds of processes in your body go slower, including your metabolism (view our tips to stimulate your metabolism). In addition, the transition makes an extra contribution to women. Did you know that the decrease in muscle mass also ensures that you gain weight? However, you can still lose weight successfully even after the age of 39. You only do that differently than when you are twenty.

1. Slower metabolism

As your age increases, your metabolism slows down and so does your calorie-burning Five percent every ten years. If you are forty, you, therefore, need 20% fewer calories per day than when you were twenty. So you should actually consume fewer calories at that age to maintain a healthy weight.

After 39, you not only get fatter faster, because you often exercise less at this age. Your muscle mass is also slowly but surely declining. While a few kilos more muscle mass ensures that you burn a lot of extra calories every day. On an annual basis, this equals a weight loss of approximately five kilos.
