Hi Emily, thank you for your message. Professor Tony Blazevic said:
Hello Emily. There is no noticeable effect on weight gain per se.
but, May influence diet and physical activity choices through effects on mood and other psychological factorsso we recommend that you consider whether this is a problem for you and seek professional advice that can be life-changing.
Otherwise, the big problem with aging in general is that we tend to move less, our metabolism tends to slow down, and we lose muscle mass at the same time. All of this can affect both your weight and your overall health.
So the key is:
1Move your body throughout the day, preferably with more intense exercise
2Make sure you are eating well, including a wide range of whole food diets
3Get 7-8 hours of uninterrupted, deep sleep each night.
FourManage your stress properly (some stress is good for you, but unmanaged stress can be a problem).
All of these contribute not only to fat gain, but to our overall health.
