What to Eat Over 40
If you're over the age of 40, you’ve probably noticed that your diet isn't working for you the way it did when you were in your 20s and 30s. Maybe a pasta and bread dinner now results in a bloated belly and a pound or two extra on the scale the next morning? That afternoon cup of coffee now keeps you up all night? That late night snack before bed results in an agonizing bout of heartburn? Or you get tired after lunch, and need caffeine or something sweet for a pick-me-up? You're not alone. We're 40, and things just got real!
Turning 40 is a major milestone to be celebrated, and it's also a good time for a dietary assessment. Unfortunately, the days of getting away with gorging on junk food, carb binges, and endless happy hours are over, but even our normal diets seem to affect us differently after 40. Why is this? Plain and simple, your body just doesn't process these foods the way it used to due to changes in your hormones that affect your metabolism and digestion.
Here's a helpful list of the primary changes your body goes through in your 40s due to these hormonal changes:
- Metabolism slows down.
- Muscle mass decreases.
- Body fat increases, especially around the middle area.
- Naturally become more insulin resistant (we can't burn off carbs).
- The stress hormone cortisol increases (causing more belly fat).
- Digestive enzymes decrease (causing gas, bloating and acid reflux).
- Collagen decreases (skin starts to show signs of aging).
- Hair starts to thin and become more brittle.
- Forgetful moments increase.
- "Shrinkage" may occur due to diminished bone density.
It's also important to be aware that the risk of these chronic health conditions increases:
- Heart disease
- Certain cancers
- Autoimmune disorders
While this does seem like an alarming and long list, the good news is by tweaking your diet and lifestyle, you can actually reverse or prevent all these issues.
