6 Ways to Say No to Middle-aged “Weight Gain”

The earliest group of post-90s is almost 35 years old, and the earliest group of post-80s is already over 40. A common phenomenon is that weight is becoming harder to control. In middle age, it is easy to gain weight because we are still living with the eating and lifestyle habits of our younger years, without making adjustments. In addition, as we age, the functions of our organs become weaker, leading to slower metabolism.

So how should we avoid it?

Method 1

Control the intake of high-sugar, high-fat, and high-sodium foods. These foods increase the burden on the kidneys and block metabolism.

Method 2

Eat less carbohydrates such as white rice, white noodles, dumplings, and wontons. Eating too little makes you hungry, but eating too much gives high sugar, which adds burden to the pancreas. Extra sugar that is not needed will be stored in the body as calories.

Method 3

Choose high-quality protein as the main source, such as soy products, fish, and shrimp.

Method 4

Do not eat dinner too late. Finish before 19:00. Choose foods that are easy to digest, such as porridge and coarse grain noodles. Eating too late makes it hard for the body to digest since it has worked all day. Undigested food will accumulate in the body and turn into toxins.

Method 5

Keep a certain amount of physical activity. Walk 6,000–10,000 steps every day. It is best to walk about 6,000 steps between 19:00–21:00.

Method 6

Properly supplement with teas that nourish qi and blood, such as Angelica red date tea or Longan red date tea. But this depends on the individual. For those with excess heat, too much may cause internal heat. It is best to take under the guidance of a doctor.
