How much should a woman weigh when she is over 50? What are the causes of obesity in middle age?

Middle-aged women over 50 need to be judged according to their height. The common standard weight calculation method is to divide your weight by your height, and the obtained body mass index belongs to the standard weight as long as it is controlled between18 and 23.99. Although it is every woman's nature to love beauty, with the growth of age, the phenomenon of getting fat becomes more and more common after entering middle-aged and elderly people. The main reasons include the following:

First, basal metabolism is reduced. The so-called basal metabolism is the standard of calories that the human body can consume per hour in a quiet state. The higher the basal metabolic rate, the younger the physical fitness. After middle age, the basic metabolism of the human body will naturally decline, and a large amount of fat accumulated in the body can not be consumed, which will form obesity. At this time, if you want to restore normal basal metabolism, you can only increase your exercise. You may wish to dance square dance with your friends, or walk quickly to enhance your body's coordination.

Second, with the growth of age, energy and physical strength are not as good as before, and they usually don't like activities. Over time, they will lead to the inability to consume calories and gain weight. Men, in particular, seldom exercise when their careers are busy, and eating and drinking at ordinary times will form a beer belly.

Third, the diet is unhealthy. After 50, people's eating habits will be polarized. If they don't socialize too much, they often eat food that is too spicy and greasy. Otherwise, they have no appetite and only eat fine food. No matter which one is bad for health, the correct approach should be to mix meat and vegetables, maintain food diversity, eat as many fresh grains and vegetables as possible, and try to control the intake of foods with high oil, high salt and high sugar.

Fourth, the causes of obesity caused by diseases. Most middle-aged people carry chronic diseases, and in the process of taking drugs orally, they will also become obese because of hormones.

Finally, Bian Xiao also wants to remind middle-aged women not to underestimate obesity. When people reach middle age, obesity can also induce diseases such as hypertension, fatty liver and diabetes.
