As you get older, your body will accumulate fat more and more easily. Although this is a general trend, it is also closely related to personal diet and exercise habits. Let's analyze the specific reasons why the older you get, the less likely you are to lose weight:

1) Reduce activity consumption

As we all know, the root cause of fat accumulation is daily heat balance, and the reduction of activity is an important reason for excessive heat balance. With the growth of age, there are many reasons for the decline in activity. For example, with the increase of working years, the type of work gradually changes from manual labor to mental labor or management work.

With the growth of age, we will gradually change from lively teenagers to mature and stable middle-aged and elderly people. After all, we often see bouncing children, but it is difficult to see middle-aged and elderly people who are alive and kicking, which will naturally reduce daily calorie consumption.

2) Decreased basal metabolic consumption

With the increase of age, the basic metabolic consumption of the body will gradually decrease. This is an irresistible natural law. The basal metabolic rate of human body reaches its peak at the age of 25, and then drops by 2% ~ 5% every ten years. There are many factors that cause the decrease of basal metabolic consumption, but muscle loss is a very important factor.

3) Excessive calorie intake

People usually eat more and more as they get older. There are many reasons that affect this factor. For example, with the growth of age, people increasingly feel that life is too short and there are not many days to come. Therefore, I often eat a lot of delicious food to treat myself, so that I can live up to my wonderful life time. People who have this idea, eating more calories will naturally be much higher; With the growth of age, there will be more and more opportunities to participate in social gatherings, and overeating at parties is almost normal for many people.

4) Slow gastrointestinal peristalsis

With the increase of age, gastrointestinal peristalsis becomes slower and slower, which is also an irresistible factor. Slow gastrointestinal peristalsis will lead to a large amount of food stored in the intestine, and constipation will occur in severe cases. When food is stored in the intestine for a long time, it will be absorbed repeatedly by the intestine. Especially in people's diet, the proportion of high-fat and high-protein foods is very high, which leads to more fat and protein in food residues, which will undoubtedly further increase the body's calorie intake.

5) Excessive pressure

Middle-aged people are old and young, and they are at the time of the greatest pressure in life. Increased pressure will excite sympathetic nerves, and when it is tense, it will cause vasoconstriction, which will lead to hypoxia and hypothermia of cells and tissues. Hypothermia will obviously reduce the basal metabolic rate, and the basal metabolism will decrease by 1 degree.

Finally, it needs to be explained that although it is more and more difficult to lose weight with the growth of age, it is relatively easy to return to a healthy figure as long as you control your diet, work and rest, and ensure a lot of exercise every day.
