As you age, your metabolic efficiency decreases. This leads to weight gain and increases the risk of developing various diseases. According to the study, women gain an average of 0.7 kg each year when they become adults, and when they reach their 50s, they will eventually weigh regarding 16 kg. In addition, as hormones change rapidly and muscles burn out, it becomes more difficult to burn fat.
As we age, our metabolism slows down and it is natural for us to gain weight. However, you can also improve your metabolism and prevent weight gain through healthy diet strategies. In this regard, according to the American health and medical media ‘Prevention’, you can successfully lose weight if you avoid some mistakes that slow down your metabolism when dieting.
A diet lacking in iron and protein
Protein intake is important to protect the muscles that are consumed when dieting. After eating, you can supplement protein by eating two tablespoons of nuts and 200g of low-fat yogurt.
Iron is also an essential nutrient when dieting. Iron carries oxygen to your muscles and helps them burn fat. In particular, women need to supplement iron through clams, beans, lean meat, spinach, etc., because iron consumption is large due to menstruation every month until menopause.
◇Eating too little
To lose weight, you need to reduce the amount you eat. However, if you restrict calories too much, your metabolism will deteriorate and your diet will be hindered. For women, eating less than 1200 calories a day puts a brake on metabolic function.
Our body causes muscle loss by drawing energy from muscles to compensate for the lack of energy. For a healthy diet, try to eat more than 400 calories per meal.
◇ Avoid caffeine unconditionally
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system of our body and increases metabolism by 5-8%. This improvement in metabolic function might allow you to consume between 98 and 174 more calories per day.
According to a study from Japan, drinking a cup of brewed tea every day increases metabolic function by 12%. Catechin, an antioxidant found in tea, helps with this role.
