Stay tuned to learn how mastering macros can boost your metabolism and enhance your health. Key Points Discussed: What are Macros? Macros, short for macronutrients, are the nutrients your body needs in large amounts: proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Understanding each macronutrient and its role is essential for balanced nutrition and effective weight management. Why Focus on Macros? After 40, stress and insulin resistance can slow down your metabolism, making it harder to lose weight. A proper macro balance, with an emphasis on more protein and fluctuating carbs, can help combat these issues. By focusing on the right macro ratios, you can improve your metabolism, manage stress load, and reduce insulin resistance. How to Balance Macros? Start by understanding your body’s needs and calculating the right proportions of proteins, fats, and carbs. Incorporate more protein to support muscle maintenance and increase satiety. Adjust your carb intake based on your activity level and metabolic response. Regular physical activity is crucial for effectively utilizing the energy from your balanced macros. Want to learn more?
