Metabolism through the ages: tips for a healthy metabolism in old age

Age brings with it many changes, and metabolism is no exception. Let's take a look at how metabolism changes over time and what steps you can take to keep it healthy.

1. Metabolism as we age
Metabolism naturally slows down over the years. This is partly due to a loss of muscle mass, which reduces the basal metabolic rate. Hormonal changes, particularly in women going through the menopause, can also affect the metabolism.

2. Muscle building and exercise
Regular exercise is particularly important to counteract the loss of muscle mass. Strength training, yoga or other activities that promote muscle building can help to stabilize the basal metabolic rate. Combine endurance and strength exercises for optimal results.

3. Adapt your diet
As energy requirements decrease with age, it is important to adapt your diet. Make sure you eat a balanced diet that is rich in nutrients. Proteins are particularly important to promote muscle maintenance.

4. Hydration and metabolism
Don't forget to drink enough water. Good hydration supports the metabolism in its tasks and promotes general health. Make water your main drink and avoid excessive consumption of sugary drinks.

5. Regular health checks
Regular health checks are particularly important in old age. Check blood sugar and cholesterol levels to detect possible metabolic disorders at an early stage. Consult a health professional regularly to develop an individualized approach to your needs. Also make sure you have an adequate intake of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. You can measure this from the comfort of your own home with the all-in-1 blood test from indyvit.

Conclusion: A healthy metabolism in old age
Your metabolism may change as you age, but you have the power to influence it positively. You can promote an active and healthy metabolism through a combination of an appropriate diet, regular exercise and preventive healthcare.
