Many people find that managing their weight feels harder after 40. That’s normal, and the good news is that a few habits make a real difference.
What changes after 40
- Less muscle: without regular strength work, muscle gradually declines, so you use a little less energy at rest.
- Busier lives: work, children and caring for parents can leave less time for cooking and exercise.
- Sleep changes: sleep can become lighter, and for women perimenopause can disrupt it further.
The habits that matter most
- Lift something. Strength exercises on at least 2 days a week help maintain muscle. Bodyweight exercises at home count.
- Prioritise protein. Include a portion at every meal.
- Walk more. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate activity a week.
- Watch portions, not just foods. Use the balanced plate: half vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter wholegrains.
- Protect sleep. Aim for 7 to 9 hours.
- Get a health check. The free NHS Health Check is offered to adults in England aged 40 to 74 every 5 years.
Where LipNutrix fits
Customers in their 40s and beyond often tell us they like LipNutrix because it’s stimulant-free and easy to fit into a routine: 1 capsule in the morning and 1 at 4pm. It’s a food supplement, so it supports your routine rather than doing the work for you. If you take medication, check with your GP first. Read more about LipNutrix.
LipNutrix and our other products are food supplements, not medicines. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you take medication, have a medical condition, or are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your GP or pharmacist before taking any supplement.
