THE APPEARANCE OF THE BODY STARTS TO CHANGE
In the thirties, the metabolism slows down. As the body requires less energy, it begins to store more body fat and less muscle mass. HIV can also contribute to metabolic changes, which can increase the risk of heart disease. Lifestyle changes, such as implementing a diet and exercise routine, can reduce these risks. If you have any concerns, talk to your doctor.
ABOUT 1015 CALORIES KALORIJA - ONE HAMBURGER
Some people can manage to eat a whopping 1,000 calories every time they visit a fast food restaurant. Indulge in it just twice a week and that’s over 6 pounds of extra weight in a year. In addition, HIV-related redistribution of body fat may occur in some men.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: Eat a well-balanced diet, exercise regularly but in moderation, and talk to your doctor if you want to make changes.
ANNUAL VACCINATION AGAINST VIRUS RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS
Everyone living with HIV, regardless of age, should receive a vaccine against viral respiratory infections to reduce the risk of developing serious illnesses. Talk to your doctor about annual vaccines.
CONSIDER QUITTING SMOKING
Smoking is the biggest avoidable health risk in Europe. People living with HIV are at greater risk of developing health complications if they smoke and this risk increases with age. If you haven’t already,
consider quitting now. Talk to your doctor for help and advice about stopping.
