The decline of your metabolism as you age, although frustrating, is very normal.

As you get older, your body's metabolism lowers. 

Think of it like a car's engine. The food you eat (fuel) gets turned into energy, which is used to run your bodily activities. 

With age, that process begins to operate less rapidly than it did when you were young...

And while your metabolism stabilizes somewhat between your 20s and 40s, it only goes downhill from then onwards.

The result: even if you exercise and eat the same as always, you'll probably start gaining weight.

So, to help you fight back against ageing, we’ve prepared5 ways for you to boost your metabolism:

#1 Eat plenty of Protein

Did you know that eating food can increase your metabolism for a few hours?

This is called the thermic effect of food (TEF). It's caused by the extra calories required to digest, absorb and process the nutrients in your meal.

And foods rich in Protein cause the largest rise in TEF. It increases your metabolic rate by 15–30%, compared to eating carbs and fats.

Eating protein has also been shown to help you feel more full and prevent you from overeating. One small study found that people were likely to eat around 441 fewer calories per day when protein made up 30% of their diet.

Eating more protein can also reduce the drop in metabolism often associated with losing fat. This is because it reduces muscle loss, which is a common side effect of dieting.

#2 Drink Cold Water

People who drink water instead of sugary drinks are shown to have better metabolism and are more successful at losing weight and keeping it off.

This is because sugary drinks contain calories, so replacing them with water automatically reduces your calorie intake.

Also, drinking water may also temporarily speed up your metabolism.

Studies have shown that drinking 17 ounces (0.5 liters) of water increases resting metabolism by 10–30% for about an hour.

This calorie-burning effect may be even amplified if you drink cold water, as your body uses energy to heat it up to body temperature.

#3 Stand Up More!

Sitting too much is bad for your health and metabolism.

Long periods of staying sedimentary can lead to the body burning fewer calories and can lead to weight gain.

In fact, compared to sitting, an afternoon of standing can give your metabolism a boost and burn an extra 174 calories!

Try standing up and talking a walk every few hours or so to break up the length of time you spend sitting down.

#4 Sip on Green Tea

Green tea and oolong tea have been shown to increase metabolism by 4–5% in the people who drink it regularly!

The caffeine present in green tea acts as a stimulant that has been shown to aid fat burning and improve exercise performance in various studies.

The massive range of antioxidants known as catechins also helps burn fat and boost metabolism.

#5 Cook with Coconut Oil

Unlike other saturated fats, coconut oil is relatively high in medium-chain fats.

Medium-chain fats can increase your metabolism as much as 12%, as compared to the long-chain fats found in your ordinary cooking oils.

Due to the unique fatty acid profile of coconut oil, replacing some of your other cooking fats with it may have benefits for boosting metabolism and weight loss.
