Age is Not an Excuse
December 29th, 2008 by Ike Lowe
Factually speaking, as we age, our bodies change. As the change to our bodies become more apparent, we now have to worry about places of stored fat that we didn’t have to worry about before.
Your digestive system efficiency changes when your metabolic rate slows.
Hormonal changes in the body can also affect the shape that you are in but there is one thing that always remains the same at all ages – If you eat too much food and drink too much alcohol you will gain weight.
Many people use their age as an excuse for being over weight but this is not acceptable. Consider how many elderly people there are who are still slim, fit and healthy and you will see that age is not an excuse.
We abuse our bodies with the poor lifestyle choices we make. As we age, the poor lifestyle choices multiply and the end results are; overweight and other related health problem brought on by poor nutrition.
Throughout your life, you should maintain your fat percentage at an optimum level. By doing so, the health benefits are large like; a better quality of life, reduced dependence on medications and save money on costly medications and avoiding other health related problems as you age.
Anyone at any age can benefit from improved nutrition and exercise.
You will live longer and happier by reducing the excess levels in your body fat.
You can turn back your body clock by beginning an exercise program coupled with an improvement in your nutritional intake. The most important part is getting started and the sooner you start the better.

The key to enjoying vibrant youthful health and slowing down the aging process is to initiate a program that will repair or at least slow down the damage being done to your cells! By improving the health of your cells before they replicate you will ensure that your new replacement cells start off life a little bit healthier.

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.
