Did you know that after the age of 20 your metabolism starts to slow down to 1 to 2% decrease per decade. That might not seem like a lot – But at age 40 you’d have to eat 300 calories less per day to weigh what you did at age 20.

If you haven’t exercised for a long time – start small and build up as your fitness and strength builds – start with a gentle walk 20-30 minutes per day.
