Did you know that aging has long been linked to weight gain in both males and females? However, this health condition is seemingly more pronounced among women than men. 

According to a report from the Mayo Clinic, women of ages 50 and beyond gain an average of 1.5 pounds per year. In America alone, about two-thirds of women belonging to the 50+ age group are considered overweight. Obesity is also a prominent health condition that calls for immediate medical attention. 

Women have it tougher when it comes to keeping their bodies fit. Due to human’s natural physiology, females tend to gain more weight than men and is associated with several biological factors such as:

a higher percentage of fat deposition

decreasing levels of hormones

the onset of menopausal stage 

slowing down metabolism

and inactive lifestyle 

Overweight women are more likely to experience diseases and health risks like heart problems, diabetes, hypertension, and many others. By acknowledging this fact fully, medical experts and dieticians continuously design, innovate and evaluate various diet plans to help individuals shed some pounds without compromising their overall body condition.
