Healthy Fitness for Women - How to Get Fit Now!
By James Sia Stevens For women, getting fit and losing weight has always been difficult. There are so many life changes that happen along the way that interfere with the ability to get fit and lose weight naturally. Hormones, pregnancy, menopause, and post menopause all play a part in keeping the weight on. It is particularly hard for older women to lose weight as you get older the total amount of muscle starts to go down and the amount of body fat increases so fewer calories get burned. Eating more fruits and vegetables In a recent study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics which looked at eating habits in women, those that increased their intake of fruits and vegetables were able to lose weight and keep it off than women that had not made a change in their eating habits. Those that were able to let go of some of the sugary desserts and beverages and ate less meat or cheese lost even more weight.
