This Is The Exact Age Your Metabolism Starts Slowing, Says New Study

[OctoberRed]

One specialist on aging says we "have to revise" what we believed about when calorie-burning downshifts.

You can probably recall the stage in your life when you started to notice that weight just wasn't dropping off as fast as it had when you were younger. If you've ever been discouraged because you can look back and pinpoint the exact period when your metabolism started to taper off… actually, according to a compelling new study, you're probably wrong. Here's why that's a good thing.

A new study published Thursday in Science reveals that the age when our metabolism starts to slow down is actually much later than most of us (and many researchers) previously thought.

As a New York Times report pointed out this week, over 80 researchers from 63 teaching institutions (located throughout North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean) submitted data to be compiled and analyzed for the study.

The data had been taken over 40 years from 6,500 people between the ages of eight days old and 95 years.

I’m still waiting for that encouraging news. What is that exact age???

The study found that the speed of our metabolism is influenced by what the authors refer to as "four distinct life stages." Here's what they are:

• Infants up to one year old have the fastest metabolism (about 50% faster than adults);
• After a year old, metabolism "declines slowly to adult levels" by approximately 20 years of age;
• Metabolism "remains stable in adulthood (20 to 60 years), even during pregnancy;
• Then, the researchers report, our energy expenditure "declines in older adults" by about 20%, to age 95. (This "may mean that crucial organs are functioning less well as people age," since our heart, liver, brain, and kidneys account for 65% of our resting metabolic rate, the New York Times reports.)

I share with you guys a lil tip.... drink ice water about 20fl every hour and you will boast your metabolism, this will result in about 20calories burn every hour. 8 times a day = 160 calories burned, so about a 10-15 minute run equivalent.

and hey you get your water intake for the day done too.. win win.

I do love my ice water.

Pair that with at least 800 calories (200g) from protein and since protein has a thermogenic effect in the conservative range of 20% you will be burn an additonal 160 caloires just from your body processing that protein.

So with the water trick and eating more protein you have burned 320 calories now, which is equivalent to running for about 20-30 minutes.

tons of tricks to make hitting your goals easier.

Right! I drink at least four litres of water a day. Keep a jug of filtered water in your fridge, you will drink it.
I already want my metabolism back from when I was 20yrs old. I just had to think about gaining or losing weight and it would happen.

My metabolism lasted until around 28-ish. Give or take.

In my 40's I developed my new drink and diet, which lets me drop weight just like my early 20's.

My weight shoots up and down real easy, depends on what I eat that week and activity.

Now in my early 30s I find it harder to cut weight than I did in my mid 20s, even on the exact same diet and level of exercise, in fact I do MORE exercise now but my rate of weight loss is slower.

When I was 26 I lost 44lbs in 4 months, now I'm 32 and I've lost 32lbs in 5 months.

Same diet plan, same workout routine and MORE cardio.

That's anecdotal but I defo think my TDEE or metabolism is lower.
