Is it harder to lose weight as you get older? For those who are 45 or 50 years old, the answer is that it can be more difficult but it depends on the lifestyle changes.
As we get older, we tend to lose muscle mass at the same time we start to put all fat. So even though it might seem that you are staying roughly the same way, simple fact is you are getting more fat and less muscle which obviously isn’t good for your body. Most of the time, it is caused by simple not enough activity and because you aren’t active. When your metabolic rates change due to the fact that your ratio between your muscles and your fat mass has changed as the muscle mass goes down and the fat mass goes up, the metabolism starts to slow down. So what can you do to solve this problem? It is quite easy to break the cycle. The first thing you need to do is obviously become more active. You can do such things simple as walking, resistance training like you used to do when you are young. So the key to remember is combining that with healthy and suitable eating habits for the elderly.
