Researchers studied 6,400 people across 29 countries and found out a surprising fact about the metabolism that would surprise most 40 year olds.
They found that our metabolisms stays stable from ages 20 to 60. Once it hits 60, it drops, but only by less than 1% a year.
This is surprising to 40-year-olds because I hear from a lot of them that their metabolisms have slowed down.
Most of the time, what has changed is their habits: they move less, have more drinks during the week, and mindlessly snack on foods that are likely hyper processed.
I don't blame most 40-year-olds because our modern-day environment encourages these behaviors, especially if we're not aware of them.
