I am plus 40 yrs old. When I was young had not to many worries about health and fitness. It was pretty easy to stay fit. Nowadays it is a daily battle. I have 8 Kids so finding the time to workout is difficult. I run 2 business with many other interest that take up a lot of time. I have been married for 20 plus years. However, I found a solution to getting my health back. I have a few tips for you on things that are making you gain fat. But I have the number solution to fixing it.
1. Stress
Many people lead busy lives and never have time for themselves.
Sadly, not having time to relax could make you feel constantly stressed and gain some fat.
Studies show that constant stress is linked to belly fat. It seems that this stress makes people unconsciously crave unhealthy “comfort foods” to relieve stress and make them feel better.
Meditation is a great alternative for dealing with stress. A review of 47 studies of over 3,500 people showed that meditation helped alleviate stress and anxiety.
Aside from meditation, you can also try yoga, cutting back on caffeine and practicing mindfulness to help relieve stress.
2. Eating Fast
In today’s world, people are busier than ever and tend to eat their meals quickly.
Unfortunately, eating quickly might be making you gain fat. Studies show that people who eat their meals quickly are more likely to be overweight or obese.
This is because it takes time for your body to tell your brain that it is full. Thus, people who eat quickly can easily eat more food than their body needs before feeling full.
If you’re a quick eater, try to consciously slow down by chewing more and taking smaller bites. You can learn more strategies to slow down your eating.
It would make me so mad when eating with my wife. She would eat so slow. This is one main reason she has been thin and healthy most of her live. She has had 8 children and is still extremely fit for a 40 plus year old mom of 8.
3. Not drinking enough water
Studies estimate that up to 16–28% of adults are dehydrated, with older people at an increased risk.
Not drinking enough water can make you thirsty. Interestingly, thirst may be mistaken as a sign of hunger or food cravings by the body.
In one study, scientists found that people who drank two cups of water right before breakfast ate 22% fewer calories at that meal than people who did not drink water.
Best of all, plain water has zero calories. Some studies have found that replacing sugar-sweetened beverages with water may reduce calorie intake by up to 200 calories per day.
If you find plain water boring, try adding slices of cucumber, lemon or your favorite fruit to add a dash of flavor.
4. Not Moving enough
We just don't move enough. Factoring pandemic shutdowns working from home and not traveling as much has put us on the fast track to being fat.
