-
Jump start your metabolism
Start strength training to give a quick start to your metabolism. Strength training for 6 months can increase your resting metabolism, so you’ll burn more calories even while you’re sitting.

Boost calcium and vitamin D
40s is also the age when you should pay attention to your bones. So have foods rich in calcium as well as Vitamin D. For this, have milk, broccoli, spinach, and onions.

Practice stress control
Stress can be linked to mood, back ache, head ache and even long term heart diseases. Stay active, happy and stress free! Take long walks, have time with your pets, talk to people around you like your neighbors or colleagues, and don’t let anything disrupt your mental peace.
