Muscle Building Age 55
If you are a woman of 40 something, you can anticipate the entry into Peri-menopause in the next 10 years. During this time your menstrual cycle will become more irregular and finally stop. N. menstrual cycles during 365 consecutive days is equal to menopause.
Typically, within a year of entering the menopause, symptoms volatile that affect sexual performance, emotional stability, sleep quality and general discomfort will settle down. Often, a woman in this situation is heavier and a larger size than two or Peri-menopause, when it began.
Many factors are working here to cause weight gain. First, there is a decrease muscle mass. About 1-2% per year after 30 years of age. If you're not exercising or doing work that maintains the muscle, you will have 10-15% at least 45 years of age and 15-25% less muscle for 55 years. Continue eating the same way and you will gain fat, who are more sedentary and have a lower metabolic rate because of less muscle. Begin to take seriously the muscle early and if you are 55 + now, start where you are and start an exercise program of building muscle. It is not about burning calories that makes the difference, but the metabolically active muscle you have on your table. It's strength and endurance muscle. Build your own and you will have more leeway to the diet.
Speaking of diet, which is more important. Over the past 20 years most of us in the U.S. are overweight or obesity at all ages. This has to do with our diet. Our diets contain many calories and too many calories from sugar or sugar foods that rapidly during digestion. Cut the calories and reduce sugar and begin to trim excess fat. A guy by the name of Reinhard Engels wrote about some rules for this, He called the No Diet. You can find it on line if you look, but here are the rules that he shares freely. No snacks between meals without seconds – just one serving per meal, and sugar in their diet, except occasionally on days that begin with S. Those days are Saturdays, Sundays and special days that you designate in advance.
Sleep is another factor you need to start cultivating in his early 40s. Regularly go to bed by least 8 hours before you need arise. Having eyes in complete darkness eight hours – not a white or light blue – will improve the levels of melatonin in your brain and make you feel more rested most of the time. Feeling rested means that they are running on adrenaline and caffeine use as a substitute for adrenaline. Too much adrenaline and cortisol in the blood means that the weight gain right! Get adequate rest.
