Older People Must Cut Calories

Older people must cut calories

As I get older it’s harder and harder to keep from gaining weight. It seems that consuming the same amount of calories that I did 10 or 15 years ago leads to more weight gain no matter how much I exercise!

Doctors have determined that the body’s energy requirements continue to decline the older we get. So if I start recording what I eat, put less food on my plate, and eat more fruits and vegetables I can control my weight gain. As I understand it, any weight gain makes me have a greater risk of getting diabetes and other chronic diseases. Those are definitely risks I don’t need.

Now I love chocolates or pretty much any candy, but for starters I have changed my in-between-meal treats to include either sugar free gum or candy or at the very most a handful of candy or a gumball rather than a big candy bar. That way I get just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth.

I hear that candymachines.com has a wide selection of sugar free gum and candy and I can either get them in bulk like vending machine owners do or buy them individually.
