As you get older, your body's metabolism starts naturally slowing down. Add to this the fact that most people over 45 are usually more sedentary than in their earlier years, and in a lot of cases, you have weight gain and health issues. Being over 45 and trying to get fit and lose weight is more challenging than it was when you were in your twenties and thirties, but that doesn't mean it's too hard to do. You don't need to deny yourself anything or go on a crash diet; with the right diet and exercise you can be healthier and happier than ever before. This book will help you to make the right choices.
