A phenomenon that occurs, but most people refuse to acknowledge is that as we get older we gain weight. Dr. Anju Mather, who runs Angel Longevity Medical Center in Los Angeles, says this happens to most people. If nothing is done about it, pounds continue to pile on as the years go by.
As we get older the gain in weight may be slight at first. But five pounds a year over a period of 10 years adds up to fifty pounds. Yikes! Nobody wants to put on that much weight. The reason it occurs is because the body’s metabolic rate slows down as we get older. So if a person consumes the same amount of food over the years while the metabolic rate slows down, the body turns those extra calories into fat.
Eat More Food, Gain More Weight
The situation medically can be complex. There’s no one simple answer. But basically the problem stems from eating the same amount of calories needed for a younger body at a time when the body is aging and slowing down metabolic rate.
There are lots of different factors that go into it. There is something called leptin resistance, and there is something called insulin resistance. And then there is something called sub clinical hypothyroidism. Those three factors are very key in treating obesity in older people.
Yes, people do gain weight as they get older unless they do something about it. Then, at some point in time when you get really old, you start shriveling, you start shrinking, your skin and bones and everything shrinks. But that is at 70 years plus. Between 40 and 70 you will gain weight, after that you will start to shrink. That is basically how our bodies are being run at this moment in time. Luckily, however, this doesn’t have to happen.
How to Handle Weight Gain
The best way to handle this unwanted weight is to have tests done in a medical laboratory. Various things can affect weight gain. Thyroid hormones could be out of kilter. Leptin levels could be too low as well as insulin. After the tests are done, a doctor can determine what course of action to take. It may involve adjusting insulin or leptin or replacing thyroid hormones. Any of these things could help to adjust body weight to an optimum level.
After the tests are done, the Slim and Trim protocol is recommended to help a person lose unwanted pounds and keep weight off. This diet uses the growth hormone hCG along with a very low calorie diet. The hormone allows the body to burn up fat, and it readjusts metabolism to a faster rate. This makes weight loss safe, rapid and you won’t feel hungry.
