I Love a Racket

metabolism slows says about 3% each year until you're 20s but then it levels off to a new normal. A person who's in their 90s needs 26% less calories every day than someone in midlife. It does change when you're elderly like you don't need as much food because your metabolism is slower. But that brings up a big question. Why do so many people feel like your metabolism changes in midlife? Like a lot of people feel like oh when I hit 40 or when I had kids like my metabolism went way worse.
