281 Exercise More Often, More Intensely to Counter Midlife Weight Gain

Start with a mix of moderate and vigorous exercise to burn off menopausal weight gain. Your routine should include aerobic exercises like swimming, walking, bicycling, and running, as well as resistance or strength training. “What you want to employ now is high-intensity interval training (HIIT),” Dr. Peeke says. “Basically that means that moderate levels of exercise are interspersed with high intensity intervals throughout the week. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week and two or more days a week of muscle-strengthening activities that work all of the major muscle groups, like the legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms. If you take the HIIT approach, you should tailor your overall exercise routine to aim for an equivalent mix of moderate and high intensity exercise every week, along with those same two days of strength training.

Boling, MD, a family medicine physician at Mercy Medical Center in Lutherville, Maryland. “We have to adjust our exercise some as we get older.” If you’ve lost some gusto, create incentives for yourself to stay moving. “I have an Apple Watch, and I like to see that [completed exercise] circle closed,” she says. A gym membership isn't a requirement, but you do need to do enough strength training to keep your muscles strong and your metabolism revved. “Try activities that have you lifting, pushing, and pulling,” she says. Bear in mind that exercise intensity is personal. So, someone who hasn't exercised in years may need very little exercise for it to feel intense, while someone in great shape really needs to push it and may be better suited to try HIIT. When in doubt, and to avoid injury, find a personal trainer or physical therapist to help guide your routines.

What is the one food you could survive on forever?

Cecil Adams, the erstwhile columnist, claims to have run the numbers with his assistant and found that a whole lot of potatoes and milk would get you most of what you need – with the exception of the mineral molybdenum. But you can get all you need of that by also eating a bit of oatmeal.

Man cannot live on bread alone – not least because man would develop scurvy about a month or so into that little experiment.

The best diets have plenty of variety in them, making sure you get everything from vitamin C to iron to linoleic acid without even having to think. Even fad diets that focus on just a few foods or on eliminating certain things are usually varied enough to be reasonably nutritious. Still, in the extremely unlikely scenario that you had to live on just one food, are some nutritionally more complete than others? Could you get what you need from, say, just potatoes, or just bananas, or just avocados?

One thing is for sure, the candidates would not include meat or most fruits and vegetables. Meat doesn't have fibre, nor does it have key vitamins and nutrients. Fruits and vegetables may have vitamins, but they don't have anywhere close to enough fat or protein, even eaten in quantity. The body does not need as much as you might think to stay alive, but you omit them at your peril.
