Staying in Shape After 30

When you’re in your twenties your body seems to almost naturally stay in shape. But when you reach your 30’s all bets are off. It takes more work to stay in shape as you seem to gain weight faster and seem to have much more trouble losing that weight that you gained so quickly.

There are several things you can do to lose weight and stay fit when you reach your 30th year on this planet.

Diet

Diet is the most important aspect of it all. You need to stop eating processed foods. This is an important tip that everyone should follow and not just us dude’s in our 30’s. Processed foods and chemicals are the enemy of humanity. They wreak havoc on our nervous systems, circulatory systems, they’re linked to cancer and hundreds of other illnesses and they are the main cause for the obesity epidemic that is sweeping this country.

You need to eliminate all of the junk food from your life.

Try to get rid of everything that comes in a can (unless it’s fruit or vegetables-but even then you should try and buy fresh). Try not to give into temptation and eat fast food. I know it’s much easier to go through the drive through at McDonald’s than it is to prepare a meal for yourself and your family but if you are really, truly interested in your health then you should stop eating any and all fast foods immediately.

Exercise

This is an important step in staying in shape after 30. Try to do activities you enjoy as this makes exercising that much more fun. Try swimming, racquet ball, tennis, basketball, skiing, bicycling, and more.

Simply changing your diet and exercising can make all the difference in the world when you are trying to stay in shape after 30.
