People over the age of 60 are not recommended to get involved in losing weight: such an activity can harm more than benefit. This opinion belongs to the gerontologist, cardiologist Yuri Konev.

Earlier it became known that the American Geriatric Society issued a statement on the creation of an effective training program for obese elderly men, according to the Internet publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old Pannochka. net According to Konev, financial interest in sports medicine is felt behind these studies. When a person has passed the 50-60 mark, the best option for him is to go swimming or walking on rough terrain.. Scandinavian walking has many fans today, a distinctive feature of which is the use of the shoulder girdle as well.. Konev believes that this will be enough, while all other training can be scrapped. According to him, people who are slightly overweight live longer than others.. But adherents of vegetarianism cannot boast of this..

In addition, the doctor gave advice to pensioners wishing to stay in shape, which is to pay attention to the calorie content of food consumed..

This is due to the fact that as the body ages, metabolism worsens, and a person continues by inertia to eat the same amount, and sometimes increase the amount of food consumed..

Recall that earlier criticism of the aforementioned weight loss program sounded from the lips of a fitness instructor.. Like his Russian counterpart, he also advises older people to devote time to adaptive training at first, without overusing loads.. And he also called swimming the best type of load..
