Metabolism factors you can’t change

Here are three factors that you cannot change:

Genetics

Genetics can play a role in your weight when it comes to metabolism. Some people tend to have a naturally fast metabolism, and they may not gain weight as quickly as others.

Who burns more calories? Men or women?

Research has shown that men tend to burn more calories than women, even when they are sleeping.

At what age does metabolism slow down?

Generally, the rate at which metabolism seems to gradually decrease is after the age of 40.

These are factors that you cannot change, but may play a role in your weight changes. If you are female, want to shed some kilograms, and feel that you have a slow metabolism, then there are things that you can do to help you lose some weight.

Exercise and diet changes

Engaging in physical activity as well as making changes to your diet are essential for weight loss. There are numerous ways to increase the amount of physical activity that you perform, such as going for runs, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, etc. Seek the help of a dietician who can help you create a suitable diet plan for yourself.

Remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise programme or making diet changes, especially if you suffer from any medical conditions, or are taking medication.
