In our twenties, while our hormones are raging, we can enjoy high-calorie treats. Add a little exercise and we stay in decent shape. But that only lasts so long!
As we get older, our metabolism starts to slow down. Hormone levels gradually decline. And at some point, we begin to notice the first signs of getting “old”! These include a slower metabolism (making it easy to gain fat), lack of energy and reduced stamina, loss of muscle mass, and more.
To protect ourselves from all this, we need to exercise at least twice a week and eat healthy foods at least four times a day. A healthy diet means getting the right amount of protein, carbohydrates and fats. And don’t forget to drink at least 3 liters of water a day.

Magi started working out while still at school. Later, she turned to the catwalk, where dieting meant going hungry. The idea was to stay thin, but she later realized this was a mistake. Starvation leads to muscle loss and a range of health problems.
