Why It's So Hard To Lose Weight After 50

Why It's So Hard To Lose Weight After 50:

If you're like most men and women over 50, you've probably noticed how much easier it has become to gain weight than to lose it...
Every year, that number on the scale keeps creeping up a few notches, EVEN IF you're saying "No" to Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and "Yes" to Yoga.
So what the heck is going on? Why do your jeans keep getting tighter?
Turns out, after you hit your 30's, your metabolism begins to slow down, which means your body is burning almost 200 less calories a day by the time you're 50.
As If Your Slowing Metabolism Wasn't Enough...
after 30 you also start losing about half a pound of your calorie burning muscle tissue each year (and at 50, that rate doubles!)2... not exactly a recipe for a slim waistline!
So what's a concerned "50 something" to do?
For most people, it's hard enough to find the motivation to exercise and the discipline to eat healthier... but after 50, it's like a double whammy!
Change is hard. Your body doesn't respond to exercise as quickly as it used to and even if you want to eat healthier, most people haven't the faintest idea what "healthy food" really is...

CONSTIPATION | GAS | ACIDITY | STOMACH PAIN | HEALTHY ACTIVE LIFESTYLE | SUNRISE4WELLNESS

  CONSTIPATION Study shows that more than 20% of people in India are suffering from #constipation. The stomach is not cleaned properly because of lifestyle issues. Due to constipation, there are many problems during defecation. People suffering from this have to go for defecation several times.   On the other hand, the person suffering from not getting the stomach cleaned properly feels tired throughout the day. A person suffering from constipation has to eat and drink very carefully. Ayurveda says imbalance between any of the three doshas, ie Vata, Pitta, Kapha can cause constipation. Thus our body gets surrounded by many lifestyle issues. This is often due to carelessness in food and lifestyle, leading to many times the food we eat is not digested & the stool becoming dry and hard, and bowel movements are not possible at the right time. Apart from carelessness constipation can also be caused by   -The lack of fibre in the diet.   -Spicy food   -White flour...

Is mental health equally important?

Image
A few months ago, I attended a party at my friend's place. I met many known and unknown people at the party. Everyone was enjoying themselves. People were dancing, drinking, talking, singing, playing etc. Few of them were colleagues, so they were, as usual, discussing their agendas. So, the party was organized by my friend in honour of his son who won an award. Some of his colleagues were wishing him, some were upset, and some were jealous. But everyone was there to wish him despite how they felt about it.  I realized people are not happy from the inside or hide their emotions. They are discussing office work at the party. We are all trying hard to balance our personal and professional life. Personal life depends on how we handle our relationships with family and friends. In professional life, things are easy because of automated processes and optimized schedules. But we tend to forget about mental health. Today the competition is very high and everyone is struggling to win but end...

Importance of protein after exercise and what to eat post- workout!

Image
  INTRODUCTION: When people hear “protein” and “exercise” in the same sentence, they’re most likely to picture images of bodybuilders eating tons of chicken and drinking protein shakes in order to maximise their gains. Protein is important for everyone who is hitting the gym, playing sports, going for runs or doing any other form of exercise, not just the pros. Protein is a major nutrient source for our bodies. Everybody should take protein in order to maintain their health. It helps to repair any internal or external damage, supports the immune system and contributes to an overall feeling of well-being. At a cellular level, proteins are used for just about everything, from transporting messages, carrying out the instructions of DNA and defending, preserving and repairing essential life functions. WHY DO YOU EXACTLY NEED PROTEIN? Exercise triggers the breakdown of muscle protein. The rate at which this happens depends on the exercise and your level of training, but even well-traine...
