Seniors Can Lose Weight Too

I’ve received emails lately from seniors that don’t seem to think they can lose weight anymore. We can all lose weight at any age. We can all exercise at any age. You just need to start moving. Change what you eat and start walking more. Seniors have a couple of problems losing weight. First, as you get older you lose some of the good bacteria in your digestive system which means that more of your food is not being digested. It’s being stored as fat. Cut down portions as you get older. Second and more important, I think, as we age and gain weight over time, we lose the ambition to be active.

If you are gaining weight as you age, your feet, knees, and hips are starting to wear down causing pain. Also, arthritis is setting into joints making them stiff. Once these effects start to change your body most people lose the willingness to maintain their body and that’s when you will truly become a senior.

This doesn’t have to happen to you. Actually, as you age you should be losing 10% of your weight every decade. This will keep your joints from wearing out. And by reducing your weight you’ll have more energy so you can stay active.

Doctors today are more into prevention than just treating the symptoms. Hospital chains and clinics have websites that promote good health, losing weight, and being active.

Medicine is changing and if you really want to lose weight your doctor is the best place to start.
