Know How Your Body Changes for Weight Loss over 40

Wellness Tip: During aging, the body changes, making it more difficult to lose weight. Calorie requirements are less and metabolism slows. You may not be able to eat how you did in your 20s without increasing your activity level. 

• Lower your daily caloric intake by choosing more vegetables and fruits, which are lower in calories.
  
• To increase metabolism, add both aerobic activity and strength training to your exercise routine. 
  

• Aerobics help burn calories.
  

• Strength training reduces the muscle and bone loss that occurs during aging and helps you to burn more calories during your workout.
