Have you ever wondered why your body reacts differently to the same regimes you apply in different stages of your life?

People that have never had a weight problem may pack on pounds and get flabbier after 30 without clear explanation. They may start exercising and don’t see any improvement. They eat less and still don’t achieve any significant change. What they don’t take into consideration is the aging impact on their body.

Aging is a Reason for Gaining Weight and the Obstacle to Losing Weight
There are numerous theories about aging but perhaps one of the most researched is the Free Radicals theory. Free radicals are atoms or molecules in which at least one electron is unpaired causing an instability (a stable atom contains a balance of paired electrons which encircle the nucleus). This instability causes the electrons to be very reactive ñ they bond easily with healthy molecules and damage them. According to the free radicals theory, this damage is what causes you to age and to become vulnerable to certain diseases.

The most common free radical is an oxygen radical, which occurs in the mitochondria when an unpaired electron interacts with oxygen. Mitochondria are your cellular power plants, the tiny structures in your cells that provide energy in the chemical form of ATP. This is your fuel for all your life functions. It helps your heart to pump and your lungs to distribute oxygen when you breathe.

When free radicals are formed in the mitochondria, they reduce the power of your cellular power plants to produce energy efficiently. So essentially, you are not running out of energy because you’re aging, you are aging because you are running out of energy. Free radicals gradually shut down your power as if you are slowly turning off a light dimmer.

Aging doesn’t have to be an obstacle to weight loss. You can reverse your aging damage and slow your aging by burning fat and increasing your muscle mass. You can accelerate this process by reducing free-radicals and increase energy production using supplements. But it is difficult to achieve it without exercise that boost hormone levels and nutrition that decreases blood sugar.

DHEA peeks at the age of 20 but afterwards declines sharply so at age 45 you have 50% of your high peek DHEA, and at the age of 65 you have only 10-20% of what you had at age 20. As the mother of all hormones DHEA represents a decline in other hormones as Human Growth Hormone, (HGH), Testosterone (in men), estrogen and progesterone (in women). Studies show the lower your hormone level, the higher your tendency to accumulate fat. Weight gain after 30 is a result of a vicious cycle of aging. Aggressive free-radicals decrease energy production which decreases hormone level and your metabolic rate to levels that most diets cannot help.

Anti-Aging Can Support Weight Loss by Neutralizing Free-Radicals
The most common way to fight free radicals is by increasing antioxidants in your body. Your body produces antioxidants naturally or it can get it from food like fruit and vegetables. Antioxidants are a form of enzymes that attack free radicals by attaching to the unpaired electron and neutralizing it.

There are two kinds of antioxidants:
The first type patrols the body, blocking the formation of free radicals. The second type disarms the already existing free radical before they bind with healthy molecules. Studies show that today’s fruit and vegetables are not rich in antioxidants as few decades ago. It is impossible to get the recommended level without supplements as multi-vitamin, vitamin C, and vitamin E in the right dosages. But this by itself doesn’t make the difference. No one loses weight just by taking antioxidants.

Anti-Aging Can Support Weight Loss by Boosting Energy in Your Cells
You can increase the energy in your cells if you exercise regularly and supplement your food with energizers. Energizers are vitamins and minerals that increase the energy production in your cells. Well studied energizers are Lipoic Acid, Chromium Picolinate, Coenzyme Q-10, and others. Cardio training is the best exercise to boost your cellular energy. Cardio training is what you may know as aerobic exercise like jogging, cycling, rowing or other activities that ramp your heart rate.

Anti-Aging Can Support Weight Loss by Increasing Hormone Level and Accelerating Metabolic Rate. You can boost your hormone level if you engage in resistance training like free weights, weight machines, bands, cables or even body weight. Studies show without a doubt that resistance training stimulates secretion of HGH and testosterone. But that’s not all. Resistance training has many other benefits. It helps to gain muscle and reverses the aging damage of losing muscle. The more muscles you have, the more fat you burn because mussel growth accelerate you metabolic rate. Aging doesn’t have to be an obstacle to weight loss. You can slow the progress of the aging process by burning fat and increasing your muscle mass. You can accelerate this process by reducing free-radicals and increasing energy production using supplements.
