Healthy, Effective Weight Loss for Seniors

Seniors often make resolutions for the New Year. Losing weight is a common resolution made. While weight loss can be difficult for many seniors, there are some small changes that can be made in daily life that will help. Below is a list that contains some helpful tips for any senior looking to lose a few of their extra pounds.

1. Try to be more conscious of what you eat. While sweets are hard to resist, try eating a piece of fruit instead of candy. It will satisfy your craving for sugar and is much healthier.

2. Buy a scale for the bathroom. This will help monitor your weight. You can even use a journal to keep track of any changes. A good scale will help you through your weight-loss journey.

3. Increase physical activity. Seniors do not need to join a gym. A simple short walk each day will help burn extra calories. In addition, that walk can help keep your heart healthy.  Exercise also increases your mood, so not only will it have physical benefits, but your mental health will improve as well.

4. Discuss weight loss plans with a doctor. You want to make sure your diet is providing you with the intake you need to stay healthy yet at the same time will help you lose weight.

    Very interesting statistics however i would be interested to know how many unique accounts this breaks down to, as that would dictate how many players of each faction would be on at a given time. In my guild we have a number of ¡°altaholics¡± which would skew these numbers.
