Let's discuss ways to prevent fat gain with age, focusing specifically on age-related hormonal and metabolic changes as well as fat cell physiology.  Sponsored: Support your Intermittent Fasting lifestyle with the Berberine Fasting Accelerator by MYOXCIENCE: Save 12% with code podcast at checkout Link to Video, Images and Research: https://bit.ly/44qTFSV Show Notes: 01:00 There are cellular changes within adipose tissue and skeletal muscle linked with aging. 01:47 As fat cells get older, they hold fat more tightly. 01:55 There is infiltration of immune cells within fat tissue. 02:35 Mitochondrial function decreases with aging. 03:00 Exercise purges senescent cells. 03:50 Serum DHEA decreases with age. 04:52 Hormonal changes in aging cause fat cells to misbehave leading to metabolic derangement. 08:45 Reduced testosterone and DHEA effect post meal fat storage in men. 09:40 Your upper body is more sensitive to storing lipids after a meal but can become overfilled. 10:30 Fat tissue inflammation can be linked to reduced physical activity. 11:12 As you get older and stop exercising, decrease protein, your fat cells become infiltrated and enlarged. 12:25 The more body fat you have, the more proinflammatory immune cells you have within your fat tissue. 13:20 Overfilled fat cells cause muscle cells to onboard more fat. 14:00 Physical training has a huge impact on preserving muscle protein synthesis. 15:50 Exercised muscles become more sensitive to nutrients. 16:30 Increase your protein intake as you get older. 17:30 Protein intake should be between 1.2 and 1.5. Grams per kilo of ideal bodyweight per day. 18:10 Fast twitch muscle fibers are preferentially lost with aging.
