Answer 1

Gravity, makes your neck go baggy! It drags a lot of things earthbound, especially when you hit 50!

Answer 2

The first step is to start on the diet. Talk to your doctor before starting any diet. In your diet, you need to reduce your total fat intake. You will have to replace high-fat foods like burgers and chips with carrots and apples. The total consumption of fat each day should be about 10-14%. You should make for the remaining part of the diet by including plenty of complex carbs and proteins. Fish and egg white are excellent sources of proteins while tomatoes, green leafy vegetables and corn are the excellent sources of complex carbs.

The next step is allowing your heart to beat vigorously. Running, walking and aerobics should be done daily to eliminate double chin. You can also include sports that offer you the same benefits. Start out slowly and then increase the intensity and duration of your workout. This allows you to burn the fat faster.
