This is a question I was recently asked on my forum
Here's a question for you coach, at what age does your metabolism start to slow down and by how much. I know that exercise helps to keep it elevated but can your food choices also help.
as you lose skeletal muscle tissue you could expect a small decrease in REE (unless loses are huge), decrease in adrenaline as well as decrease in sns and atrophy of other tissues and organs could contribute to slow down
activity decrease means less TEA
food generally (TEF) accounts for 10-15% of ADMR
of three macros protein have most prominent effects
with that being said numerous factors must be considered when stating a causative affect aging has on metabolic rate
Simple answer- it depends and is greatly variable
the best thing you can do to decrease slow down is stay active
keep in mind metabolism is the sum of all chemical changes occurring in the body
I realize people generally do not like the it depends answer but that is the proper two words that answer most questioned asked that relates to exercise and nutrition
age and metabolism?
Linear Mode
