At 30: By age 30 you’ve achieved your peak bone mass, the most bone density you’ll have in your lifetime.

At 40: At about age 40, most women start to lose bone and muscle mass causing a decrease in metabolism of about 3% every decade.

At 50: The average weight gain during perimenopause is 10 pounds.

At 60: In your 60’s the loss of muscle fibers causes you to slow down, lose strength and vigor.
