All about our metabolism after 50

This study shows that everything we thought we knew about our metabolism is wrong. Using data collected from 6,500 men, women and children, over 40 years by 80 researchers, it reveals that our metabolism does not slow down until the age of 60. It is from this age that it begins to decline, by 0.7% per year. According to James Heagney, post-menopausal pounds are linked to a relaxation of one's lifestyle. It goes without saying that our metabolism is unique to everyone, and some people are more prone to weight gain than others. It depends both on our silhouette, but also on our intestines.” It is the loss of intestinal integrity that affects health the most. In question: alcohol, antibiotics, drugs (even paracetamol), the consumption of foods to which you are intolerant and stress,” he explains.

According to James Heagney, women between the ages of 50 and 60 are recommended to have a fat mass of between 22 and 33% of the overall mass. "It's a wide range, and we rather seek to be around 21-22% around the age of 50, and to stay below 31-33% as we approach our sixties". He explains that “menopause causes the body to drop in estrogen, the hormone that contributes to good bone density“. To counter this, he advises following a resistance training program.
