1.   Gaining weight and losing strength and energy are inevitable as we get older.
Such changes are common, but not always inevitable. For many women, the main causes are decreased physical activity and poor eating habits.

 2.  The solutions? Introduce more healthy foods and snacks into your routine and find ways to get yourself moving, whether it’s using the stairs instead of the elevator or taking a dance class with a friend.
