weight loss and metabolism

We all have noticed that over time, our metabolism seems to become slower and slower. Personally, I went off to college 155 pounds and most definitely ate at least twice as many calories (and drank many more times alcohol) then I do now, and I am about 20 pounds heavier. Additionally, I now exercise every day, and when I went off to college, exercise was more like an intramural softball game. For women, it is incredibly more pronounced as to how much metabolism slows down. This affects almost everywoman, but is most notable in women who have gone through pregnancies.

What can de done to ramp up the metabolism? First and foremost is challenging the GI tract with small amounts of food (high protein especially) frequently...i.e. NOT skipping meals and getting proper snacks in during the day. NOT eating later at night also seems to have a positive effect on metabolism. Regular exercise seems to also benefit the overall metabolic rate.

There is nothing we can do to slow down the calender aging , but there are most certainly things we can do to slow down the adverse metabolic effects of aging. Metabolic slowdown does accompany calender aging but we can all do things to minimize the effects.
