Boost metabolism with this nighttime habit

Metabolism influences your body's basic energy needs and helps speed up the process of burning calories.

After the age of 35, our metabolism slows down, so it's up to us to keep it going strongly.

Here's a quick nighttime habit you can follow to help speed things up:

Have a bedtime snack (yes, really!)

Two recent studies found that having 150 calories about 30 minutes before you hit the hay, boosted metabolism in the morning, compared to having none.

For best results, stick to a pice of fruit or a small protein snack like a few almonds (or low-fat milk/cottage cheese) and make sure that you're exercising regularly to avoid any added weight gain.
