Metabolism: Understanding How Our Bodies Work
Our metabolism goes through four phases throughout life: high during infancy, decreasing to adult levels during adolescence, stable from age 20 to 60, and slightly declining after age 60. Contrary to popular belief, everyone is born with the same metabolism, and it is our lifestyle choices and behaviors that can impact its efficiency. Overeating and excess body fat can slow down metabolism, while stress, lack of sleep, and poor food choices can contribute to weight gain and inflammation. However, by making mindful choices, such as getting enough sleep, being physically active, managing stress, and making healthier food choices, we can support our metabolism and maintain overall health.
