Gaining and Aging Process
Gaining Weight and Ageing
Factor
Grey hair, wrinkles, weight gain, are all factors of the ageing process
Women
Most women gain weight every decade of their life, usually starting at the age of twenty
Why
In women around their mid twenties start working or raising a family leaving less time for activity
Sitting
As there is less time for activity, women in their jobs or family routine are confined to sitting more
Hips and Thighs
Sitting is one of the greatest fat gains, especially to the hips and thighs
Pregnant
Women tend to get pregnant in the twenties and thirties; unfortunately this is one of the few times that the women’s body can produce more fat cells
Cells
Unfortunately for women during pregnancy, the fat cell that are produced will always remain
Gaining Weight
Continuing gaining weight through the years, but not as quickly, as reaching our forties, the body’s metabolism start to work at a much slower rate
Muscles
As a result of this lack of activity the muscles are no longer strong, and can not burn the calories that are needed
Burning Calories
The muscles are one of the most important functions in the body for burning calories
Metabolism
When women start to reach the menopause, hormones, oestrogen and progesterone can slow the metabolism down at an even slower rate
Abdomen
Around the age of fifty and sixty years our metabolism is so slow, that it can make us gain weight in the abdomen
Weight Gain
The weight gaining process will start to slow down as we reach our fifties through to our old age,
Appetite
As we reach our fifties to sixties we can loose our appetite, and may loose weight
Loosing Weight
Do not worry if you start to loose weight in you sixties, loosing weight is a common factor
Habits
Weight loss or gain will depend on each individual and depending on their lifestyle
Personal
You personal level of fitness and eating habits are a great factor to gaining or loosing weight
Abdominal
Abdominal fat is more metabolic active than the fat on the hips or thighs
Breaks Down
The abdominal fat cells in the accumulate faster but will break down faster than the hip or thighs
Women
Because most women store the fat in their thighs and hips, it tends to give them a pear shape
Apple
Other women and men who store their fat in the abdomen have an apple shape
Fat
Abdominal fat is also called visceral fat,this is a harder fat that is not soft or flabby
Visceral Fat
Visceral at is a type of fat that is associated with diseases like diabetes, or high blood pressure
