Make exercise part of your daily routine. Strength training exercises are especially important as we age, according to William Evans, Ph.D., a physiologist and director of Nutrition, Metabolism and Exercise at the Donald W. Reynolds Center on Aging in Arkansas. This decreases a man's metabolic rate, energy requirements and strength. If he doesn't change his energy intake, his body fat will go up. In other words, the more muscle you have, the more food you can eat.
Food turns into fat.
Lose enough muscle mass and one day you'll look in the mirror and find that your broad shoulders are spilling over your belt.
