According to specialists in the USA, metabolism is based on three main aspects:
- Heredity and genetics
- The functioning of the thyroid
- Muscle mass
From the age of 30-35, men begin to lose muscle mass at a rate of 1 to 2% per year. The fewer muscles there are, the fewer calories are needed for their maintenance. From the age of thirty, the percentage of calories needed decreases by between 5 and 7% every 10 years.
Another important change of age in men is the decrease in testosterone levels. Although testosterone levels fall, this does not happen as drastically as many people think. At the age of 35, testosterone secretion is only 5% lower than at 25.
A significant decrease in the levels of this hormone begins after the age of forty, when its production decreases by 10% every 5 years. At fifty, testosterone levels are only 60% of the levels of this hormone at twenty-five.
It is important to understand that at the age of 30, the lack of vitamins and minerals becomes visible: if at 20 the shortage of the necessary amounts of calcium and magnesium is not noticed, as the years go by the negative consequences become apparent.
Although calcium, magnesium, zinc and other minerals cannot raise hormone levels or speed up metabolism, their chronic absence has a negative impact on a large number of processes that take place in the body.
The physiological changes in men’s bodies are, in themselves, minimal. The slowing down of metabolism does not happen, and hormone levels and testosterone levels only decrease slightly compared with the levels of these hormones in adolescents.
The reason why the body changes significantly lies solely in lifestyle and eating habits. In most cases, men, towards the age of thirty, begin to eat more and move less, accumulating fat and losing muscle as a result.
A typical situation: men start going to the gym when they realise that their figure is in bad shape. In an attempt to repair in a month what has been damaged over the years, they set themselves two goals: burn fat and gain muscle. A good trainer and no “buts”.
As a result, they train for hours, which include jogging, strength exercises and abdominal exercises, they follow diets with calorie restriction (going as far as consuming only 1200 calories a day), a little BCAA (branched-chain amino acids) and half a portion of protein (for the muscles).
The most widespread mistake when training after the age of thirty is trying to achieve results very quickly. When they do not achieve what they want, many blame the slowness of metabolism and age, although this problem would not exist in a 35-year-old person with healthy eating habits.
The body changes from the age of 30 and men worry about their appearance, and they go to gyms, and to aesthetic medicine to be more beautiful and in shape.
Aesthetic treatments and surgeries in men are more in demand every day and their results are excellent.
