As you age, maintaining a healthy weight can become more difficult.
But this does not mean that you need to torture yourself with strict diets and intense workouts.
It is enough to develop the right eating habits to stay in shape.
Gynecologist Ekaterina Volkova spoke in more detail about what exactly needs to be done, reports Doctor Peter .
Habit one
Protein should be eaten daily. It will help to maintain youthful skin, improve the condition of hair and muscles, and this element is also very satiating, which means it helps to avoid unhealthy snacks.
Calculating your daily protein intake is easy. There should be 1-1.5 g of protein per 1 kg of weight.
Habit two
The body needs healthy fats from plant and animal sources. For example, their amount can be replenished by including dairy products, fish, nuts and olive oil in the diet.
Habit three
Vegetables should always be there. They serve as a source of fiber, support intestinal microflora, and have a positive effect on immunity.
Habit number four
Don't forget about foods that contain the highest concentration of nutrients - vitamins and minerals.
After 40 years, it is especially important that the body receives sufficient amounts of iodine, vitamin B12 and B6. Calcium is also important.
