How to Increase Metabolism After 60?

How to Increase Metabolism After 60?

Metabolism is the chemical reaction takes place in our body cells that help keep our body alive. Metabolism converts the fuel (calories) in the food we ate into the energy needed to power everything we do, from moving to thinking to growing. Metabolism rate determines how many energies consumed and calories burn each day. The higher the metabolism rate, the more calories our body burns.

 
 

Age is one of the most critical factors of changes in energy metabolism. Metabolism actually decreases almost linearly with age. This means that our metabolism drops with the age growth and we burn less calories each day. In other words, our bodies tend store fats which caused weight gain. Fortunately, there are many ways that we could do to combat this age-related metabolism issue and boost our metabolism rate even if we are over 60 years old. In this post we will share about the ways to increase metabolism after 60.

 

Summary on how to increase Metabolism after 60:

1. What is Metabolism?

2. Why does Metabolism drop with age?

Why does Metabolism drop with Age?

 

Our metabolism rate tends to slow down with age. According to studies, our metabolism rate will start to drop at the age of 25. After age 25, the typical rate of drop is around 2 percent per decade.

 

There are several reasons for slowing metabolism: loss of muscle mass, hormonal factors, being less active and the natural aging of our organs and body tissues, including the metabolic processes.

 

One of the complementary “gifts” from aging is the unavoidable loss of metabolically active body tissues. The most significant one is the loss of muscle mass. Skeletal musculature which contains the highest muscle mass is a fundamental organ that needs and consumes the highest amount of energy in our daily life. With the loss of muscle mass, the volume of skeletal musculature will decrease which lead to less energy consumption for our daily activities. Therefore, energy requirement in the elderly drops. In summary, the number of calories burned will decrease with age due to lowering of metabolism rate.

 

What will happen when we are having POOR Metabolism?

 

The direct issue caused by slowed-down or poor metabolism is weight gain and hence overweight. This is because with low metabolism, fat is accumulated in our body. For the elderly, the extra fats tend to “gather” in the abdomen. This is an issue which needs high concern because fat tissue in our abdominal cavity connects directly without our liver. This will expose us to high risks of poor glucose and lipid metabolism.

 

The common disease caused by poor glucose and lipid metabolism is metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is popular and critical cause of chronic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, malfunction of kidney and liver. These chronic diseases are accompanied with the symptoms of high blood pressure, high blood sugar level and high triglyceride levels which are the popular killer among the elderlies.

 

Besides, when our metabolism starts to slow down, we might start to feel tired and sluggish because we are “short” of energy to do anything. We might find the difficulty to focus too.

 

How to increase Metabolism Rates Effectively?

 

There are 4 main factors which will affect our metabolism rate:

 

i. Resting metabolic rate (RMR)

This is the metabolism rate on how much calories our body burn when we are resting.

 

ii. Thermic effect of food (TEF)

This decides the amounts of calories burned during the process of digestion and absorption of nutrients. TEF usually consume 10% of our daily calories burned.

 

iii. Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)

This is the amounts of calories converted into energy through activities other than exercises like standing, sitting, and some lite household chores.

 

iv. Exercise

Exercises are the activities which requires the most energy supply. The more exercise we do, the more calories burned.

 

Hence, it is crucial to increase the energy consumption which is beneficial to stimulate our metabolism.

 

Regular Exercises

 

Regular endurance exercises are helpful in preventing our metabolism from slowing down with age.

Aerobic is the most effective exercises which will increase our energy consumption.

 
 

Besides increasing the energy consumption, the most important effect of regular exercise is that it helps to train and maintain our muscle mass and activate our body tissues.

In fact, our daily physical activities, both exercises and non-exercise activities consume up roughly 10% to 30% of our daily energy consumption. For very active people, this number can go as high as 50%. Unfortunately, with aging, we tend to be less active and we burn less calories through activities.

 

By boosting the metabolism rates, exercises will help to lower the risks of developing chronic disease like obesity, cardiac disease and type 2 diabetes. Regular exercises are helpful in supporting our immune system too.

Hence, it is recommended to exercise regularly. A slow jog for 30 minutes each day will be good and helpful enough.

 

Balanced Diet & Supplements

 

A balanced diet is highly important to stimulate and maintain our metabolism rate. Sometimes, when needed, we could even take supplements to increase the activities of our body tissues.

 

i. Proteins

 
 

Coupled with ageing, our body needs more protein to stimulate muscle protein synthesis to main our muscle mass. Beans, dairy products, eggs, fish, lean meat and poultry would be good sources for beneficial proteins.

 

ii. Vitamin B12

 
 

Vitamin B12 helps to maintain red blood cells (RBC) and nerve cells. For vitamin B12, fortified cereals, seafood and meat are the good sources.

 

iii. Vitamin D

 

Vitamin D is a fat soluble nutrient essential to the health and to maintain strong bones and muscle contractions. The good sources of Vitamin D included Salmon, Tuna and Egg Yolks. Vitamin D supplements have been another source of Vitamin D too. It can be found in 2 different forms: D2 & D3.

Supplemental daily doses of Vitamin range between 1,000 and 4,000 IU, depending on blood levels.

 

iv. Calcium

 
 

Calcium is crucial for building and maintaining our bone mass. Health bones are the key for muscle health too. As per mentioned earlier, the reduction in muscle mass will results to lower metabolism rate. Dairy products, leafy green vegetables like Kale are good sources of Calcium. Besides, there are plenty of calcium supplements available in the market too. The most popular and natural kind of calcium supplement is the goat milk tablet.

 

v. PPAR Supplement

 
 

The Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) is a group of nuclear receptor proteins that are beneficial in increasing and regulating the expression of genes. PPARs is beneficial and crucial for the body in fighting diseases and providing fuels and energy to the cells. With scientific studies and testimonials which shows the effectiveness of PPARs in combating metabolic syndromes, immunology ailments and cancers, PPARs is increasingly sought after today. Below is a video depicting how PPARs plays an essential role in boosting the body’s metabolism rate.

 

 

Basically, PPARs increases FGF-21 in our body. FGF-21 is beneficial in lowering body weight in obese by increasing the body’s energy expenditure, fat utilization and excretion.

 

There are 3 types of PPARs isomers: PPAR alpha, PPAR gamma & PPAR beta/ delta.

PPAR beta/ delta is the most abundant PPAR subtype presents in the skeletal muscles. It is an important regulator of skeletal muscle metabolism. While PPAR alpha and PPAR gamma are beneficial in supporting the lipid and glucose metabolism.

 

There are plenty of PPARs available in the market which we could acquire easily. Among the brands available in the market, Simply Nature is one of the most recognized brands with plenty of testimonials and reviews from medical doctors and users. Simply Nature has a very established reputation in Singapore and The Philippines.

 

Simply Nature’s PPARs
