3 Tips to Boost Metabolism for Preventing Fat Gain and Muscle Loss
No matter what you do, unless you optimize your metabolism, fat gain, and muscle loss will be an issue as you age.
Excessive visceral fat (leading to obesity) and muscle loss (leading to sarcopenia) are two severe health concerns for the aging population. These two conditions are related to metabolic functioning as it tends to slow as we age. Therefore, improving metabolism can lower these risks.
Based on years of reviews and experience, I noticed three key factors significantly impact metabolism. They are stress, diet, and movement.
I gained visceral fat and lost muscles in my younger years due to typical weight loss mistakes but not in my older years. Instead, as I got older, I gained a defined body with a well-functioning metabolism thanks to healthy lifestyle choices and mindful living that I introduce in this article.
As metabolism is a broad and complex topic, I articulate the critical points under three headings to give you a perspective with practical tips. First, I’d like to provide a brief overview of metabolism so that the issues I discuss and the helpful information I introduce make sense to you.
