How do I Boost my Metabolism?

It’s true that as you age, your metabolism does slow down. The good news? You can increase your metabolism rate by following these habits:

1. Increase lean muscle mass through strength training and aerobic activity. Your metabolism can also be affected by how frequently you exercise—the more physically active you are, the more you can boost your metabolism.
   
   
2. Eat smaller meals throughout the day. The more frequently you digest food, the more your metabolism is working.
   
   
3. Stay rested. Not getting enough sleep may negatively affect your metabolism.
   
   
4. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. You should aim to drink at least 64oz of water daily.
   
   
5. Eat less carbohydrates. Your diet should consist of about 25% carbohydrates
