Remember back in the day when you could eat anything you wanted? Fast food after a night of drinking? Chips and ice cream for dinner? Doughnuts for breakfast? No problem. Then one day, the number on the scale started to climb.

All of us have to grow up someday, and with a change in age comes a change in metabolism. As we get more mature, our metabolism slows down. And that means that some things have to change. And you might be surprised at what they are.

While no one can actually turn back the hands of time, you can take the right steps to stay in good shape and boost your metabolism. And it’s not all about diet and exercise. Compensate for these grown-up changes in your life and you can help your body look as good as it did during your 2 a.m. pizza days — no matter how many candles are on your cake!
