Why people gain weight as they get older
🧠Psych - 182/200
Hello,
There’s an interesting study I have here to share with you!
What is it?
Many people struggle to keep their weight in check as they get older. A research has uncovered why that is:
lipid turnover in the fat tissue decreases during aging and makes it easier to gain weight, even if we don't eat more or exercise less than before.

What do I need to know?
Prior studies have shown that one way to speed up the lipid turnover in the fat tissue is to exercise more.
This new research supports that notion and further indicates that the long-term result of weight-loss surgery would improve if combined with increased physical activity.
"Obesity and obesity-related diseases have become a global problem," says Kirsty Spalding, senior researcher at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology at Karolinska Institutet and another of the study's main authors. "Understanding lipid dynamics and what regulates the size of the fat mass in humans has never been more relevant."
