Only 7 more calories per day can lead to excess weight in middle age. This opinion was expressed by the famous geneticist from the University of Cambridge.
Dr. Giles, Yeo convinced that in preserving the slimness of the waist worth every caloriethat we eat. For example, even 7 calories in excess of that contained in the few drops of ketchup, which we squeezed the potatoes, are already sufficient reason for the emergence of excess weight in middle age. Of course,only in case if a person consumes excess calories daily. Unfortunately, in middle age, our metabolic processes slow down, the body breaks down food much slower and burn more calories, and significantly more stocks submits under the skin. That is why in middle age and later years nutrition and you need to pay attention.
Dr. Yeo in his new book “Genetic nutrition” stated that in the period from 20 to 50 years average people recovering 15 kg. so 15kg for 30 years is about 75,000 calories, which is 2,500 calories per year. And this daily ration of an adult male. By simple arithmetic we can calculate that if the person every day for 30 years consumes only 7 extra calories, then this would be sufficient for the emergence of 15 kg of excess weight. Initially, this assumption has caused skepticism among the doctors, Yea, but he carefully re-checked everything and made sure that the math does not lie.
“Do not forget that with age the rate of burning energy in our body slows down, that is why even 7 calories play such an important role, – said the expert. – Therefore, carefully calculated the caloric content even with such minor violations will fail, unless of course, we are not going to counteract this by using a larger amount of physical activity. In the UK today, two-thirds of the population overweight or obese, and people middle-aged and older often find themselves in these categories.” (READ MORE)
