Why Belly Fat Is So Hard to Lose After 40 (And What Most People Miss)

Many people notice that belly fat becomes more stubborn with age. Even when eating better and staying active, the midsection often refuses to change. This isn’t about effort. As we get older, the body’s metabolism, digestion, and internal balance change. Stress, sleep quality, and how the body processes nutrients all play a role.
