Most health experts will tell you that the 40s are the most important decade in a person’s life because it is what sets the course that a person is going to follow for the remainder of his/her life. Persons that are overweight or obese in their 40s and choose to bypass weight loss opportunities at this age are in for a rude awakening when they enter their 50s and 60s; and, let’s be honest, if an obese person chooses to avoid losing weight while their in their 40s, the chances of making it to their 70s without suffering from a number of chronic health conditions are minuscule, assuming they even make it to their 70s. 

By adopting an active lifestyle where fitness and healthy eating are a regular part of the over 40 person’s life, they may be able to avoid or reduce the chronic health conditions that has made heart disease as the overwhelming top cause of death in the US. If your doctor is suggesting weight loss, taking care of this in your 40s is far more doable than if you waited until your 50s or 60s. Being fit over 40 sets the course for healthy senior years, so you can enjoy your last years by traveling around the world, instead of being stuck in dialysis. 

Whether it is general fitness or losing weight, having a well-designed meal plan, and for the weight loss folks, a weight loss diet plan that is manageable, instead of being overly restrictive, can be helpful. Healthy nutrition has to be a major piece of your fit over 40 lifestyle (aka you’re not a kid anymore!).
