Women Over 40: How Hormones Threaten Your Weight Loss
By Perry Permann
Is it becoming harder and harder to lose weight permanently? Do you feel you are consuming less than you used to but you are still gaining weight? This might have to do with your age- and the female hormone system makes permanent weight loss after 40 for women even harder. Isn't easier to resolve a problem when you know what causes it? So let's understand these hormonal shifts. Broadly speaking, your weight and and your figure are influenced by two groups of hormones: The thyroid hormones and the sex hormones, particularly estrogens. Estrogens are responsible for the natural female figure: They form bust, thighs, belly and backside, slim the waist and soften the skin. And: A high level of Estrogens reduces the appetite. DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is another essential hormone- the body uses it to make numerous other hormones. DHEA scales down storage of excess calories as fat- instead, these calories are burnt. Over 40, Estrogens and DHEA levels are decreased, making it harder to lose weight permanently for women over 40. Thyroid hormones contribute to digestion and metabolism. We feel energetic and are in a positive mood if the thyroid gland works properly. Unfortunately, it is very easy to disturb the sensitive thyroid- and this will make the whole body. After menopause the hormone system changes, leading to change in the body. Subcutaneous fat cells fill up and increase their size- and unfortunately the normally stabilizing collagen is reduced as well. Spots of fat might show up on your body, while the reduced estrogen levels increases your appetite. Frequently the level of thyroid hormones is reduced too in women over 40 contributing to decreased metabolism. For women over 40 losing weight gets progressively difficult because of these effects.
