The “Greasy” Image Associated with Middle – Aged Weight Gain
In the adult world, everything seems challenging, except for gaining weight and being in a difficult financial situation. While one’s financial status may not be immediately apparent, being overweight is visible. Once full of ambition for success, many of us now find ourselves getting rounder. Some might think that being fat is not a big deal, believing it to be an inevitable part of middle – age. However, in a society with increasingly strict body standards, being overweight has been linked to one’s life and character.
Middle – age is a stage where metabolism slows down and body functions decline. It seems that even breathing can absorb calories from the air, and eating a bit more leads to weight gain, which is an irreversible process. When young, we had slender and graceful figures, exuding charm as we walked. But as we reach middle – age, with a fat belly that jiggles while walking, a poor body shape makes middle – aged people lose their charm and even be labeled as “greasy”, which is the situation for many middle – aged men and women. Good body management and maintaining a good figure are like magic weapons for middle – aged people to fight against time. Refusing to gain weight and be greasy is the last bit of pride middle – aged people have in the face of unforgiving years. For instance, at 37, Peng Yuyan can still make many girls call him “husband”, and Chen Yihan at 37 can still be called a “young girl”. Age is just a number, but poor body management is what makes middle – aged people lose their charm and be labeled “greasy”.
Difficulty in Managing Life without Body Management
When people reach middle – age, their appearance reflects their life. The “fat” crisis in middle – age is a process everyone will experience. In life, we see many middle – aged people who seem to have given up resistance to this crisis, neglecting body management and allowing their weight to grow freely. As a result, many middle – aged people are either skinny and sickly or have a big belly with “three highs” (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high blood lipid). Such people usually don’t pay attention to exercise, lack a sense of body management, and also don’t care about life planning. If a person can’t even manage their body, how can they manage their life? People without plans and execution ability will be passive in everything, at the mercy of fate. In this way, the chance of becoming the master of life is slim, and they will live a more and more self – centered life.
The Need for Self – Discipline and Health in Later Life
To be honest, after the age of 30, it’s normal for both men and women to be less energetic than in their youth. However, precisely because of this, it is even more praiseworthy for middle – aged people to maintain a good body, which represents their self – discipline and self – control. For example, Wang Leehom, at the age of 43, once again made it to the hot search with his body, surprising many people. How can a 43 – year – old have such a fit body? There is a very realistic saying: You have to work very hard to look effortless. Effort is not just for the young; it’s for life. The moment you stop trying is the moment you start going downhill. The moment you stop managing your body is the moment you gain weight and your body starts to deteriorate. Some middle – aged people suffer from fatty liver and “three highs” due to overweight and high body fat percentage, often having to go to the hospital. While others are healthier than when they were young and can travel around in their free time. So, time is fair to everyone. If you are willing to use sweat and self – discipline to regulate yourself, your body won’t be too bad, and health will be within reach. The choice between running on the road of health or lying in a hospital bed, tasting delicious food or swallowing pills, seeing the laughter of loved ones or their sad faces is obvious. Health is not only the meaning of life but also a sign of love and responsibility to the family.
