Nobody wants to deal with a slow metabolism.  Having a slow metabolism can lead to obesity and wreck your anti-aging program.  There are a variety of health risks that can come along with obesity, including heart disease, joint problems, digestive issues, and other problems that make you age faster.

Low metabolism and weight gain also leads to issues with your appearance.  It can cause bloating which makes you look older, not to mention that bloating can be quite painful as well.

So, what can actually cause low metabolism to occur?

One issue is your thyroid.  If your thyroid is not producing enough of the correct hormones, you may end up dealing with a slow metabolism and this problem needs to be corrected.

Another issue that can lead to low metabolism is not eating enough, yeah right!  If you don’t eat on a regular basis, the body basically begins to “save” nutrients and goes into “starvation mode”.  Although many people think they will lose weight by skipping meals,  most often the exact opposite occurs.

If you overeat for the amount of energy you need, your body will store extra as fat.  You can see that to live younger longer, you’ll need to have your thyroid function checked periodically, eat smaller but more frequent meals and limit the number of calories you consume at these meals.  The extra benefit to eating more frequently is that it stabilizes your blood sugar and you won’t be starving one hour and overeating the next.
