I'm going to deviate a little bit from what I normally post about. It is very common to hear people 40 plus say that their metabolism has slowed down and they gained weight because of it, blaming circumstances outside their control. There's a well-known study in the fitness world about this, and it found that metabolism doesn't truly slow down until your mid-60s. And even when it does it's by 1% roughly. Additionally the difference in true metabolism between a world record sprinter and an obese person is also almost insignificant. This means that essentially all weight gain unless due to a medical condition is due to poor lifestyle choices and habits. Alhamdulllilah, I'm in my 40s and in better shape than I was in my twenties or at any point during my life. This is only because some of my friends when I was younger encouraged fitness and caused me to develop good habits early on. If you are younger in your teens twenties or even thirties take the time now to develop the habit. Create a gym routine, even two or three days a week can be sufficient, learn the basics of nutrition, use discipline to get yourself into the gym consistently and eat well and it will pay you back dividends for the rest of your life. Once you hit your 40s it is much much harder to develop new habits and routines that will stick. When you are young your brain is moldable, take advantage of that and pay your future self back. You will live longer, be happier, your mood will be better, you will sleep better, you will be more attractive for your partner, and you will have more to be grateful for.
