Several factors affect the metabolism of a person, such as the amount of muscle tissue, the frequency of the meals one consumes, genetics, stress, personal diet and activity levels. Metabolism slows done due to the following: loss of muscle mass, because there is not enough physical activity, the tendency of the body's own gut tissue, because there is not enough food energy to maintain, and reduced physical activity that comes naturally to old age.
Here are several ways to fire up one's metabolism:

1. Building a lean, mean body weight. It is only natural that the metabolism decreases with age, but it is possible to counter the effects. The amount of muscle a person is a very strong determinant of the ability to burn calories and shed fat. So it goes without saying that the practice is important.
