In today’s Wellness Minute we discuss your metabolism. What is it and how do you speed it up? Your metabolism is the energy you need to maintain your normal state. There is a breathing test you can take to get your basal metabolic rate to see where you are. Typically as you age your metabolism slows down and that’s why people gain weight by eating exactly what they had always been eating. So the first tip to speed up your metabolism is to eat less as you get older because you need less calories to live. Exercise also helps speed up your metabolism because you are creating lean body mass – so start lifting those weights. Take a listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
