JJ Virgin says metabolism doesn't slow with age, muscle loss does. Building muscle acts as a metabolic Spanx, raising your resting metabolic rate. Moving more throughout the day matters just as much.

"Hey JJ, is a slow metabolism just a part of getting older?" Your metabolism doesn't really slow down as you age. Your metabolism slows down because you're losing muscle and you're moving less. One of the easiest ways to boost your resting metabolic rate is to put on more muscle. It's your metabolic Spanx. It holds everything in tighter and boosts your metabolism. Couple that with moving more all throughout the day, and you will not have a slow metabolism with age. You'll have a boosted one.
