Be it men or women, we all struggle to lose those few extra kilos. As we grow old, our body witnesses several changes including weight gain, low metabolism and others. Some changes occur due to age, others happen because of menopause in women. Well-known nutritionist Anjali Mukerjee, who has worked with many Bollywood celebrities, suggests a few ways for women to stay fit and gain a healthier lifestyle even after their 40s.
In an Instagram post, the health expert recommends regular exercise and a healthy diet to build strength and improve flexibility. According to her, “One of the main reasons why women over 40 gain weight is that their metabolism slows down. They simply don’t burn calories as efficiently as they did a few years ago. Even women who exercise experience weight gain around their abdominal region.”
