www.drcorrielus.com • FACTORS THAT AFFECT METABOLISM • AGE • MUSCLE MASS • As we get older, we tend to burn fewer calories. This is because we lose muscle and gain body fat. It starts around age 30 and goes on all our lives. • Muscle burns more calories than fat, even when we’re not moving. So, the more muscle we have, the more calories we burn. • HORMONAL CHANGES • LIFESTYLE HABITS • Changes in hormones can slow down our metabolism. This can make us gain weight or make it hard to lose weight. • Not moving much, eating poorly, and not getting enough sleep can slow down our metabolism. That can make it hard to keep a healthy weight.
