There are several reasons it can become increasingly difficult to lose weight as you age, starting with the fact that your metabolism will typically start to slow down. This is due to a number of factors, from changing hormone levels to loss of muscle mass. Luckily, though, there are ways to counteract these effects. One of the best things you can do to boost your metabolism is to maintain a healthy diet that’s packed with essential nutrients and the right amount of protein.
The type of protein you eat is important if you’re trying to lose weight.
