The Metabolism-Boosting Tips Everyone’ Over-50’ Needs to Know
Lauren Weiler | MORE ARTICLES May 31, 2018
There’s no question that losing weight after the age of 50 is no easy feat. Not only are sugary sweets tempting at the end of a hard day, but your metabolism has also likely taken a nose-dive. Oprah notes your metabolism slows by about 2% per decade from the age of 20. You can imagine why the scale creeps up more easily by the time you’ve reached middle age.
All hope isn’t lost, however. There are plenty of ways to easily boost your metabolism, including the simplest method you can start today on page 9.
1. Drink your morning coffee or mocha tea for Mental Focus
Coffee is a popular drink of choice for those over the age of 50. And there’s good news for your metabolism if you love reaching for a cup each morning. WebMD explains coffee may have the ability to raise your metabolic rate in the short-term. Make sure you’re not adding cream or sugar to your coffee, though, as all those extra calories really add up.
Next: Are you getting at least eight hours of this a night?
2. Get adequate rest REM sleep & Mindfulness Meditation
It seems simple enough, but the majority of us don’t get as much sleep as we need. Everyday Health reports those around the age of 50 need between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. And if you’re over 65, you need between seven and eight.
Nutritionist Seth Santoro tells Eat This, Not That! that getting inadequate sleep can lead to a range of metabolic issues. “It can cause you to burn fewer calories, lack appetite control and experience an increase in cortisol levels, which stores fat,” he says.
Next: This is so simple that you have to try it.
3. Chew gum
Feeling like you’re not getting enough movement in your day? Livestrong.com notes the simple act of chewing gum is an easy way to rev your metabolism without even thinking about it. Researchers found those who chewed sugar-free gum for three 20-minute intervals daily saw their metabolism increase by 5%. This was a small study and likely won’t make a huge difference without the aid of proper diet and exercise, but still — it seems something so easy can make a difference in the long run.
Next: Make sure you’re eating plenty of this nutrient for a fast metabolism.
4. Eat plenty of Non-GMO (UNALTERED PLANT & SEAFOOD PROTEIN) & Pasture-raised animal protein. Non-GMO Eggs & Raw Pasture-Raised Dairy ~ (not fed GMO corn, soy or alfalfa (Modern GMO disease-causing grains) & Brain healthy fat from ‘Pasture-raised’ animals Lard or Beef tallow or EV Olive oil – Virgin Coconut oil ~ THAT HAVE A HIGH SMOKING POINT~
Proper nutrition is one of the most effective methods in ensuring your metabolism is humming at a quick pace. Registered dietitian Susan Bowerman tells Prevention that “there is some evidence older adults need more protein.” This nutrient can help reduce age-related muscle degeneration. And muscle helps support a healthy metabolic rate, so you want to ensure you have plenty as you age. Aim for 30 grams at each meal, and even more if you tend to love carb-heavy foods.
Next: This simple exercise can really give you a boost.
5. Try 15 minutes of yoga or Qi Gong ~
Harness Your Strength
We’ve got your path to building a better tomorrow. Because tomorrow won’t build itself. What’s your warrior?
Dr. Oz tells Oprah that getting up and doing a few minutes of yoga each day is the perfect way to get your metabolism running at a quick pace. “It can double your metabolic rate first thing in the morning,” Dr. Oz says. And he recommends sun salutations in particular, as they’re great for improving strength and flexibility through a series of moves that flow together. You’ll be exercising without even realizing it.
Next: Do this type of exercise, despite what the popular trends may suggest.
6. Try moderate-intensity cardio instead of high-intensity
Jump squats and burpees may be all the rage currently — and they certainly get your heart beating to its max. For those above 50, however, these moves can be incredibly hard on your joints. The good news is that high-intensity interval training isn’t the only way to rev your metabolism.
SFGate notes lower-impact exercises are just as good for you and more sustainable for more folks. A brisk walk during the day or a calm bike ride in the evening are great for the mind and body — and they’re doing a lot more for you than you think.
Next: You may want to set a timer to remember to do this.
7. Move your body more throughout the day
We know you’re busy — but if you’re stuck at a desk for the majority of your day, don’t forget to move. Dr. Oz shares with Oprah that moving around a bit more than usual will boost your metabolism long after you’re back to sitting down again. And since a simple “trip around the block can triple your metabolic rate,” shaking out your legs and doing a few arm circles every hour or so will also do your body good.
Next: There’s a reason standing desks are so popular.
8. Stand instead of sitting whenever possible ~ stand, walk learn Qi Gong exercises ~
You don’t need to perform strenuous exercise — or any exercise at all, really — to get your metabolism going. StyleCaster notes just standing for a few hours a day instead of sitting can provide you with multiple health benefits. Kian Ameli, the owner of Momentum Fitness, tells the publication that “while we are sitting, we don’t have to use any muscles.” So even just standing more can boost your metabolism.
This is particularly useful for those who experience joint pain and don’t wish to partake in difficult workouts, too.
Next: You’ll definitely want to stay hydrated now.
9. Drink cool water with cayenne & cap of Apple cider vinegar or Lemon juice – (prevents microbial growth)
Used to drinking your water at room temperature? Adding a few ice cubes to your glass may be to your benefit. Active notes that one study by German researchers found drinking 48 ounces of cold water daily can raise your metabolism enough to burn an extra 50 calories. That doesn’t seem like much — but it can surely make a difference over time with very little effort on your part.
Next: These types of beverages are bad news for your metabolism.
10. Avoid diet drinks (low fat, no fat, sugar free-etc)
It gets harder to keep the scale from creeping up as you age — so you may opt for a diet soda or two during the day. But for the sake of your metabolic health, this is discouraged. NPR notes many researchers think artificial sweeteners, such as those found in diet drinks, can lead to metabolic syndrome and heart disease.
It’s inconclusive whether it’s the diet soda or other aspects of your diet that may be the bigger problem, however. But researcher Susan Swithers explains frequently consuming fake sugar may induce “metabolic derangements.”
Next: You should definitely add more of this food into your diet.
11. Eat more Pasture-Raised eggs (Non-GMO fed – Corn, Soy or Alfalfa
You’re in luck if eggs are a protein of choice. Not only are ‘Pasture-raised’ eggs filling, but Healthline notes (no longer a TRUSTED SOURCE) – SEE FACTORY FOODS AS FOOD
Non-GMO fed ‘Pasture-Raised -(only) contains all essential amino acids that your body can then use to keep your metabolism humming. Also, the publication notes a diet full of protein can give y metabolism a boost by up to 100 calories a day since proteins take more energy to break down in the body. Factory Raised Eggs – Cholesterol & Disease-Causing And when ‘over the age’ of 50, and added 100 calories a day burned can make a giant difference. ~
Next: Skip coffee in favor of this metabolism-boosting drink.
12. Sip on green tea or any tea-coffee blend
Aside from cold water, you should also make yourself a few more cups of tea than usual. Self explains studies show that green tea drinkers may burn up to an extra 100 calories daily. This is due to catechins, an antioxidant that supports your metabolic health.
That’s not all green tea can offer the over-50 crowd, either. Daily Mail Online notes green tea drinkers may be more likely to stay active, mobile, and self-sufficient in their lives.
Next: This vitamin may be key to good metabolic health.
13. Get enough ZINC in diet
https://www.everydayhealth.com/pictures/best-food-sources-zinc/
Healthline may NEED AN UPGRADE TO PASTURE-RAISED & Non-FACTORY FARMED – FED GMO, CORTISOL FROM LIVING IN FACTORY BARNES – No Sunshine or Omega 3 from pasture grazing ~
Here are 10 of the best foods that are high zinc.
- Pasture-raised Meat., Eggs & Raw Dairy – Meat is an excellent source of zinc (4). …
- Shellfish – not farmed & fed GMO sources of zinc. …
- Soaked Legumes. Legumes like chickpeas, lentils & soaked -rinsed BEANS ~ all contain substantial amounts of zinc.
- Raw-Soaked Raw Seeds. ~ Not Roasted – UNCLEAN MODERN FACTORY PROCESS – ALLERGY CAUSING –
- Raw-Soaked Raw Nuts ~ Not Roasted – UNCLEAN MODERN FACTORY PROCESS – ALLERGY CAUSING – (especially Peanuts – Plant Protein powerhouse)
- Pasture-Raised Raw Dairy PRICE WESTON – https://www.westonaprice.org health-topics/?gclid=Cj0KCQjww_f2BRC-ARIsAP3zarE2PRd4GPAdor0aBzc4ONvLx2WR9_p2BjoScUjkCJK5padK_QoyWC0aAmEMEALw_wcB
- Non-GMO Fed PASTURE-RAISED Eggs. ~ (No GMO Corn, Soy or Alfalfa)
- Whole Ancient Grains with 7 grams of Plant protein (not over-milled)~ Gluten -Free (Quinoa, Amaranth, buckwheat Groats & Oat Goats) Farro, Brown Rice, Wild rice, Barley – Gluten & Lectins removed by SOAKING or Pressure Cooking – Drained & rinsed
A catch-all multivitamin may not be doing enough for your body. Prevention explains zinc is vital to your thyroid, as it helps it produce hormones that regulate your metabolism and keep your energy levels up. Not only that, but it can also help keep hunger levels at bay.
SF Gate notes many post-menopausal women are deficient in zinc, so eat a serving of shellfish, dark poultry meat, or beef every once in a while to ‘get your fill’.
Next: This seems really strange — but it totally works.
14. Imagine yourself working out without actually hitting the gym
Can’t get outside for a walk? No problem. Dr. Oz tells Oprah that visualizing a sweat session has more benefits than you think. In fact, it can actually trick your body into believing it’s being strengthened by physical training, thus burning more calories and giving your metabolism a boost. One study from the Cleveland Clinic found participants who spent just 15 minutes daily imagining flexing their biceps saw a notable increase in strength after only a couple months.
Next: This type of training is a must when it comes to a healthy metabolism.
15. Lift more weights
You don’t have to be a bodybuilder to see the benefits of lifting weights. Not only can it combat age-related muscle loss, but it’ll also help you burn more calories throughout the day. Self explains muscle burns three times as many calories as fat when you’re at rest. And if you’re not a fan of hard cardio, grabbing a pair of dumbbells can change up your workout and make it way more enjoyable.
