Metabolism

Your metabolism slows down about 5 percent each decade as we age.

How do you increase your metabolism?
Drink green tea, eat hot pepper, eat more often, eat protein, exercises. The studies only prove that these tactics increase your metabolism for about 30 minutes after you do them. After the 3o minutes your metabolism goes back to your normal. So guess if you want to use them and boost your metabolism you need to do them every 30 minutes.

Now one lasting way to boost your metabolism is to build muscle.
Every pound of muscle in our bodies burns 35 calories a day, while each pound of fat burns just 2 calories per day. So as we age we need to concentrate on weight training. We need to build our muscles instead of loosing muscle which we naturally do as we become more sedentary.
So get some hand weights or wrist weights, get on your supportive shoes, walk and pump those arms while doing this. Do some toe lifts and some wall squats. All of these will build your major muscle groups. Last one core. Planks, side planks, or even push ups. Can't do a full push up? Got a set of stairs. Stand at the bottom of you stairs, toes out a couple of inches. Armes where you can comfortably reach. Standing vertically touching steps and push up. When you can do 10 to 15 push ups easily move down a step. Do until you are on the floor. You will beable to do full push ups and have lots of arm, leg, and core muscles.
