KEEP Your Fat Furnace working

To make your effort truly successful, think of your body not as a temple, but as a machine that needs fuel.

One problem for the increase in body fat % with advancing age is that 'basal fat oxidation' - the rate at which fat is broken down inside the body tends to drop as we get older. As fat oxidation drops, more fat piles up on the hips or droops from the midsection. Now the question arises, What can be done to prevent fat-oxidation rates from dipping? Well, the answer is,

Try to maintain or increase muscle mass When researchers recently studied a large group of healthy women, aged 18 to 73, they found that the best predictor of fat-burning decline was a loss in muscle mass not advancing age or a diminishment in aerobic capacity. In other words, losing muscle mass causes fat-burning fires to die down much more rapidly, compared with getting older or losing fitness. Women can check or even reverse the tendency for fat oxidation to decline with age simply by bolstering their muscles. Sustaining high-fat oxidation rates would then make it hard to develop a big tummy or 'thunder thighs' and would improve athletic performances. Take up strength training two to three times a week for 30-45 minutes. The result will be a stronger, leaner you.
