5 Tips for Shedding Belly Fat After 50
The aging process can bring about various physical changes, including a shift in where the body stores fat. For many people over the age of fifty, this can result in an increase in belly fat. This not only affects appearance but can also have negative impacts on health. In this article, we will provide five tips for reducing and eliminating belly fat after the age of fifty.
Watch Your Calorie Intake:
To shed belly fat, it's essential to be mindful of how many calories you're consuming. Aim to eat fewer calories than you burn each day to create a caloric deficit. This will force your body to tap into stored fat for energy. Keep track of your caloric intake using a food diary or smartphone app.
Incorporate Strength Training:
Strength training is crucial for building and maintaining muscle mass as we age. This type of exercise helps to boost metabolism, making it easier to burn fat. Aim for two to three strength training sessions each week, focusing on all major muscle groups.
Increase Your Fiber Intake:
Fiber is an essential nutrient that helps to promote feelings of fullness and can prevent overeating. Foods high in fiber, such as fruits and vegetables, and whole grains, can help to reduce belly fat by promoting weight loss. Aim to consume at least 25-30 grams of fiber per day.
Reduce Stress:
Stress can trigger the release of cortisol, a hormone that can cause an increase in belly fat. Reduce stress through regular exercise, meditation, or other stress-management techniques.
Stay Hydrated:
Drinking enough water is crucial for overall health, and it can also help to reduce belly fat. Aim to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day, and avoid sugary drinks that can lead to weight gain.
Conclusion:
Getting rid of belly fat after the age of fifty may seem challenging, but with the right lifestyle changes, it is possible. By incorporating a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and hydration into your daily routine, you can reduce and eliminate belly fat for a healthier, happier life.

exam 5 for me... tomorrow!
honestly have been feeling really nervous for this exam since my classmates have either failed it or just barely passed. and i had less time to study this time around because i rushed to book the exam.
so i drew this little encouragement early cuz i need the reminder that no matter what happens tomorrow, i did what i could and i didn't compromise on my boundaries—and that is its own victory.
and i hope that you'll be reminded to celebrate your own big and small victories too!
"You are nervous and that's okay! You did your best! You set boundaries! You took breaks! We're so proud of you, Starlight! Whatever happens, we'll always be here, cheering you on!"

Glasses in whump.
Whumpee who has them taken away/broken early into its long captivity.
Caretaker brings whumpee to get a new prescription after it is rescued, and oh the unintentional trauma triggers there.
Blood pressure cuff. Velcros on and pumps tighter and tighter with every heartbeat-
Things near its eyes, both sticks and paddles to cover them, the lights are suddenly off with a flashlight in its face.
Cold metal devices it's expected to press its face against. Smells like chemicals. Orders given on where to look. To hold still.
Whumpee takes the question of "what's the lowest line you can read?" As a test, and becomes noticeabley distressed when it 'fails'
Eyedrops. Drugs that change its ability to see. Sticky. Lashes clumping together. Hands on its face.
Then in the waiting room, either before the appointment or after while getting the prescription filled, all the glasses on the walls looking looking, staring, eyes watching. Everyone can see whumpee, whumper knows where it is.
This feeling is magnified if video or pictures of its torture were passed around or sold. Everyone can see your pain, the glasses on the walls say. Everyone can see everything you're doing wrong, all the rules you're breaking.
Choosing frames. Paralyzing decision or a gift of choice?
Does whumpee think it deserves the gift of sight?
Everything is too bright after. The new glasses make the world even blurrier as it adjusts.
But in the end, it's all worth it.

dc x dp prompt inspired by this tiktok
if you don’t wanna click the link, in summary it’s a hyper-realistic animation commenting on American overconsumption and capitalism through the metaphor of jeff bezos owning a bakery and using his sugary workers as ingredients once he realizes it makes his pastries more delicious. (it’s permanently altered my brain chemistry, i recommend that you watch it it’s so good.)
anyways, i’m aiming for “they’re in the same universe already” type angle, but you can do whatever you want. so let’s say a former GIW dude gets laid off and ends up in gotham. through whatever hijinks you choose, the guy discovers that shades are DELICIOUS in your average pastry and decides to open a bakery with this knowledge. (the only reason this dude and gotham citizens can consume these is cuz they’re liminal contaminated or something, you decide.)
now also for whatever reason, we find danny in gotham (with or without his companions) and by some magic of fate (clockwork probably) he stumbles on the bakery. he’s maybe heard how good it is and they’re just so yummy or something or other. upon trying it, he immediately wants to puke because he knows that there are shades in it and it feels like full on cannibalism. what he does about it is up to you.
on the bats end, they’re all enjoying these pastries as much as any other person in gotham. some bat manages to coax jason into trying one and when he tastes, he has a similar reaction to danny. he doesn’t recognize the secret ingredient as shades or inherently cannibalism, but he just feels down in his being that there’s something fucked up about it. (lazarus pits obviously tip one further towards liminal than not.)
side note on that, considering damien was raised nearby the lazarus pits for a majority of his childhood, i say that he’s neutral on the taste. like, it isn’t delicious or anything but it’s not the worst thing he’s tasted. and he’s definitely not gonna search out the sweet treats. (maybe he connects the dots between his and jason’s liminal-bility? does he follow jason around as he investigates the bakery? it’s up to you ;) )
on the other hand, the other bats don’t understand their distaste/neutrality and think jason’s tweaking, but jason knows what he knows. (cass believes him obvi. they probably investigate the bakery together)
so this is probably where the duo meets danny, and they figure out the stuff together and now you add whatever angst you want that comes with the combined worlds of danny phantom and detective comics. is danny the ghost king? demon twin au? is jason a baby halfa? it’s all up to y’all ig
