Does the metabolism slow down with age?
The average American loses up to half of their muscle between the ages of 30 to 80. Muscle is our only metabolic activating tissue. That means our muscle IS our metabolism. Each passing year of muscle tissue degradation causes a decrease in your metabolic rate. However, you can change this downward spiral by eating the right foods in the right combinations at the right times of day, along with resistance training and cardiovascular exercise results in metabolic up-regulation. And this is exactly what the New Body Blueprint guides you to do!
