When looking at adult obesity rates by state and by age we see that there's a dramatic spike in weight gain between the ages of 26 and 44 across the United States. And even though you might think that the weight gain is just a part of getting older due to natural changes to our metabolisms, it actually has very little to do with that. In fact your metabolism or your basal metabolic rate which is also known as your bmr only drops by about 1 to 2 percent every 10 years after you turn 20 years old. And according to research if we exclude the changes in activity levels, muscle mass, and body fat an older adult would have just a 5 percent slower metabolism than a younger adult. This shows that a lot of the weight gain that many people experience as they get older into their 30s and 40s is not due to some unfortunate uncontrollable circumstance that nature has pre planned for us. Instead there are a number of decisions within your control that'll allow you to either stay lean throughout your late 20's and 30's or cause you to gain weight. So today I want to go over 5 reasons men, and most people in general both men and women will start gaining weight and body fat as they age. First let's go over the real reason why so many people feel like their metabolism drastically slows down as they grow older. Their activity levels go down. When most people blame their metabolism for weight gain they're confusing their total energy expenditure with their resting metabolic rate. You see your resting metabolism makes up about 50 - 70 percent of your total daily energy expenditure. The other 30 to 50 percent is a combination of the amount of calories you burn by digesting your meals also known as the thermic effect of foods, and the amount of calories you burn from physical activity while intentionally exercising and throughout the day when not intentionally exercising. Even though your resting metabolism makes up a large part of your total amount of calories you burn per day studies show that the main reason why total energy expenditure goes down as we get older is mostly due to a reduction in physical activity. As we grow and get older we no longer play sports, we don't ride our bikes, and we're not active with friends like we used to be instead we get loaded with a ton of responsibilities. The long hours that we used to spend being active get left behind for long hours sitting behind a computer monitor at work. And the big reason why we trade in being active for work isn't because we get lazier, it's because our priorities change. Pressure to succeed in life mounts up and if we want to achieve our ambitions we have to focus on other things outside of just ourselves and our bodies. Around 30 more and more people get married and many people lose the motivation to stay in shape since they're now "off the market." So we begin to value things other than staying in good shape. The house we live in, the kind of car we drive, the food we eat, and our credit score all suddenly become more important than our health. If you also have a family and kids...
