BOTTOMSLIM | What a fabulously slim experience at 60 looks like

Looking and feeling healthy is not limited by age

At age 60, even if you've put on a few kilos from spending too many hours sitting in front of a screen, it's not too late to begin getting back in shape with a few lifestyle changes. However, it might require slight modifications to a standard nutrition and fitness plan taking into consideration changes in your body, loss of bone density and medications you might be under.

 IRENE HO, in her 60s, came to BottomSlim wanting to lose weight – especially around her tummy – so that she could regain some of her confidence. Having chanced upon our programme at a roadshow, she came for treatments to try. With our advice, she lost a total of 2.2kg and overall 35 cm off her waist.

BOTTOMSLIM’S GUIDELINES FOR LOSING WEIGHT APPROACHING 60s

 1.  Consult your doctor
Before beginning anything (exercise or diet plan), it is important to know your health concerns, such as arthritis, diabetes, heart problems, osteoporosis, and dietary needs once you are approaching age 60 and older
2.  Take supplements
Consider taking multi-vitamins formulated for elderly adults. As you age, your body is less able to process some vitamins like folic acid and Vitamin B. Calcium (with vitamin D) is also good to strengthen your bones and reduce the risk of a hip and wrist fractures, especially since your body’s will lose bone density as you age.
3.  Feed your body what it needs
Follow a healthier diet of fruits, vegetables and grains rich in fibre as well as lean meat less in unhealthy fats. A diet like this supports your digestive and immune systems, enhances your brain functions, and significantly reduces risk factors for chronic illness, obesity included.
4.  Reduce your calorie intake
This is a necessary step because activity levels decrease with age. You don’t need as much calorie intake to function normally. Read labels of products you buy in the supermarket to reduce your sodium and sugar intake. While salt and sugar have a place in the body's functions, processed foods and beverages excessive amounts you don’t need, adding to water retention, high blood pressure, and overall weight gain.
5.   Give up old habits
Smoking reduces your lung capacity and may lead to lung diseases such as cancer. According to several studies, even if you quit after 40 years of smoking, it won't reverse damages done, however, your lung function loss will recover to the same level as a non-smoker.
6.  Have less than one drink a day
More than one drink containing as much as a third of alcohol, daily, can affect many of your body's normal functions. Most detrimentally, it disrupts your sleep patterns, especially after you reach age 60, when your body requires much more rest than when you were younger.
7.  Add light activity to your daily routine
As a 60-year-old, you should consider lower impact exercise, like walking and swimming as opposed to jogging or jumping rope that could cause joint injury.
