The rate at which we expend the energy from our food is known as metabolism, and the rate of metabolism differs from person to person. However, the more active one is, the higher the arte of metabolism, and the more calories that are burnt. After a meal, the body expends quite a few calories on the process of digestion. As you age, your body becomes less effective at burning calories, mostly because of a gradual decrease in activity and resulting loss of muscle.As a result, your body tends to store excess calories in the form of--you guessed it--body fat, and that extra weight only slows you down more.You can increase it further by making small but targeted lifestyle changes. Anything that energizes you--a good night's sleep, fresh air, sunlight, a healthy diet, regular exercise, increase some muscles ultimately helps drive metabolism. Concentrating on your muscles, their strength and performance, CellMass will help you on this.
