As people reach middle age, each organ begins to enter a “fatigue period,” with the body’s functions gradually declining, blood circulation becoming less smooth, and the metabolism and blood circulation abilities decreasing. This results in harmful substances and waste in various organs not being promptly eliminated. For women, facial blemishes start to appear, and excess fat on the belly increases. Coupled with reduced physical activity, the body tends to gain weight. So, how should we face this period prone to weight gain? Remember two good habits that can detoxify and reduce fat while preventing cardiovascular diseases.
For a slightly overweight 40-year-old woman, remember these “5 sayings” to detoxify and reduce fat, slimming down to achieve a “tiny waist”:
1. Eat less for dinner
It’s better to eat less in the evening; even if your stomach doesn’t feel full, you shouldn’t eat more. The stomach has a limited capacity for food intake, and overeating may damage the digestive system. It can also affect sleep quality, increasing the risk of obesity.
2. Avoid eating too late
It’s best to finish dinner before 8 p.m. After this time, the digestive and metabolic functions of the body decline, leading to delayed fat breakdown and potential weight gain.
3. Engage in suitable evening exercises such as simple and easy aerobics or square dancing
Square dancing has become one of the recreational activities for middle-aged women. This type of exercise is not too intense and can involve movements for the wrists and ankles, releasing body heat and burning fat.
4. Substitute rice with oats
Since it’s not advisable to overeat at night, oats have low sugar content and calories. They are rich in dietary fiber, which promotes digestion, helps eliminate fat and waste from the digestive system, aiding in detoxification and digestion. Additionally, regular oat consumption doesn’t lead to weight gain and doesn’t cause hunger quickly.
5. Have a green juice drink after meals
Green juice is a popular nutritional supplement nowadays. It is high in vitamins, maintains the body’s acid-base balance, prevents sugar from turning into fat, promotes smooth intestinal peristalsis, and effectively detoxifies. Due to the slow metabolism and blood circulation in various female organs during middle age, toxins can accumulate, affecting women’s health. Green juice’s efficient detoxification properties not only help detoxify but also aid in reducing fat. Women face various troubles as they enter middle age; thus, prevention is crucial. Besides focusing on diet and exercise, maintaining a positive mindset is essential.
