After reaching old age, many women began to gain weight, and they became fat very fast, and they became fat balls all at once. This is because people get older and their metabolism slows down, causing accumulation of nutrients and fat. Too obese is not a good thing. It is easy to induce diseases, such as diabetes and fatty liver. For the sake of health, you must lose weight in time. So how do obese elderly lose weight? If you want to know, come and take a look at these few methods suitable for the elderly to lose weight.

How obese elderly lose weight

1, get exercise

Some elderly people feel that they are old and unable to do what they want, and they don't like to move. Because they would feel profusely sweating when they walked casually, they became less and less willing to move their bodies, not even doing simple exercises like walking. If obese elderly people want to lose weight, they must exercise. For example, take a walk after a meal, take a few more laps, and walk for half an hour to an hour a day, which can promote metabolism and consume energy and excess nutrients in the body. Wait, reduce the chance of fat accumulation.

2. Drink plenty of water

Many elderly people do not like to drink water, because after drinking water, it is easy to go to the toilet. People become lazy when they are old. When they are too lazy to move, they naturally don't want to go to the toilet frequently. It is recommended that elderly people with obese belly drink more boiled water. Because drinking more boiled water can well promote the internal circulation of the body and make the metabolism faster. Let the fat and toxins in the body be better discharged, thereby helping you lose the fat on your stomach.

3, choose the right food

Choosing the wrong food can also make you fat. For example, high-calorie, high-fat, and high-sugar foods, even if you eat a little bit, but eat it every day, you will also gain weight. Especially for the elderly, the function of the digestive system is already reduced, and it no longer functions as well as when it was young. I have been eating fatty foods such as pork belly, and cakes and candies with high sugar content.

In order to lose weight, you should still eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber, because dietary fiber can promote gastrointestinal digestion and peristalsis. For example, pumpkin, sweet potato leaves, apples and so on.
