To build and maintain muscle mass and enhance metabolism, prioritize strength training. Weightlifting, resistance band, and bodyweight exercises are good.
Prioritize Strength Training
Eat lean proteins, entire grains, fruits, veggies, and healthy fats. Avoid processed and sugary foods. Overeating can be prevented by portion management and careful eating.
Adopt a Balanced Diet
Move more throughout the day. Walking, gardening, stairs, and housework are examples.
Stay Active Throughout the Day
Water is essential for health and weight loss. Staying hydrated can reduce snacking because thirst can be misinterpreted for hunger.
Stay Hydrated
Sleep 7-9 hours per night. Poor sleep can cause weight gain by disrupting hunger and appetite hormones. Set a sleep schedule and establish a relaxing environment.
Get Quality Sleep
Chronic stress might cause abdominal weight gain. Try yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or hobbies to reduce stress.
