Reasons why middle-aged women gain weight

When women reach middle age, they will find that although they want to lose weight, it becomes very difficult. Some middle-aged women find that they were not fat originally, but started to gain weight when they reached middle age. What is the reason for middle-aged women to gain weight? Gaining weight in middle age seems to be a very common problem, which is related to the decline in organ function. If you don’t exercise enough, you will gain weight more easily, so you need to eat in moderation and keep up with the amount of exercise to avoid gaining weight.

Once a woman reaches middle age, her figure starts to decline. Maybe you used to be a charming and graceful woman, and your husband hugged you with sweetness and happiness. But now, let alone hugging you, he is already afraid of you because of your fat body. So what are the reasons for middle-aged women to gain weight?

Physiological factors leading to obesity

Physical factors are one of the reasons for obesity. When people reach the extreme of 30 to 35 years old, the functions of various organs in the body begin to decline, such as the respiratory system, heart function, etc. The corresponding metabolism will also be affected, and the body's calorie consumption will decrease, so that a lot of fat accumulates and cannot be consumed, and it will mainly accumulate in the abdomen, buttocks and most of the body. Between the ages of 30 and 80, 40% of the body's muscle mass will disappear, muscle fibers will decrease, and the remaining muscles will become weak. Likewise, bones lose 1% strength and mass every decade after age 30.

Psychological factors leading to obesity

Psychological factors refer to a comfortable life mood. After a woman has a child or gets married, her living environment changes and her mood changes accordingly. Most of them live a happy life, are relaxed and at ease. Over time, they are prone to become mentally lazy and relax their strict requirements on their figure before marriage, which is one of the important factors for obesity.

Dietary factors leading to obesity

Most housewives have a common problem: they only have time to eat after taking care of their children. At this time, it is already late and their body's consumption is low, which is undoubtedly a huge problem for losing weight. Secondly, most frugal middle-aged women are accustomed to eating the food their children have not finished, and they inadvertently eat too much. Furthermore, some people have a poor sense of fullness and always feel that their desire to eat is not satisfied. International research has shown that not feeling full will prompt the brain to direct our behavior and continue eating.

Obesity caused by lack of exercise or inappropriate exercise

As they age, affected by their physical fitness, middle-aged women's activity and exercise volume can only decrease. Invisibly, due to the increase in intake and less consumption, they will become obese over time.

Warm reminder: Middle-aged women must find the cause of weight loss and prescribe the right medicine to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
