5 ways to boost metabolism with aging.

If you are over 40 years old, you probably have a hard time keeping your weight down. Although nowadays, 40 is the new 30 and 60 can sometimes be the new 20, depending on how well you take care of yourself. Think of Cher and ponder the new laws of gravity – apparently they don’t apply to certain people. Even if you aren’t a gazillionire, you can still battle bulge through the later parts of your life. Here’s how:

1. Exercise: Muscle is the fuel that burns your metabolism’s gas tank so to speak. The more lean mass you preserve on your body, the more calories you burn at rest. For the best results, you should do strength training and aerobic exercises 3 times a week.

2. Don’t fast: fasting or starving yourself will only slow down your metabolism. Remember, our bodies are forever thinking about our ancestor’s early days – prehistorically speaking. When we starve, our bodies think we are back on the lonely plains hunting long-horn steer or a Wholly Mammoth. Eating 6 small meals a day, every 2.5 hours, keeps the metabolism elevated making it a lot easier to burn calories.

3. Add some spice to your life: Anything with a kick in its step is a much better alternative than reaching for foods that contain too much sugar, salt or artificial flavoring. Some examples are cayenne pepper, regular pepper, or any of these tasty suggestions.

4. Eat breakfast: Whether young or old, it’s still the most important meal of the day. Breakfast helps improve mood, focus and concentration. Plus it sets you up for healthy eating the entire day.

5. Water: staying hydrated can give you energy as well as cleanse your body of toxins. Drink 8 to 10 glasses (8oz) of water a day to keep your metabolism going strong.
