Slowing Metabolism, Recognize the Four Signs

Dream - The body's condition will change as it ages. One of the changes that can occur faster is a slowing metabolism.

Metabolism itself is the body's way of processing fats, proteins, and carbohydrates into energy. Your body can experience several things caused by a slowing metabolism.

Such as difficulty losing weight. Weight remains difficult to lose even though you have been exercising intensively and reducing the amount of calories consumed. There are still several signs of a slowing metabolism that can be experienced, including:

1. Difficult to Achieve Ideal Body Weight

Based on the upload of Lifestyle Influencer and Food Technology and Nutrition Bachelor, Maria Eleonora, the body will burn fewer calories when the metabolism slows down. That's why someone who eats small portions still easily gains weight compared to someone who eats larger portions.

2. Easily Get Sick

“Easily getting the flu or sick, or more often feeling cold even though others feel normal, it can be caused by a slow metabolism,” said Maria in her Instagram post.

The level of metabolism plays a role in regulating body temperature. Therefore, you need to maintain its condition so that your body stays at a normal temperature.

3. Easily Tired/Drowsy

Low metabolism will make the body less effective in converting food into energy. As a result, Dream friends will get tired and sleepy faster.

4. Digestive Problems

“If you often experience bloating, constipation, or other digestive problems, that is also one of the signs of a slowing metabolism,” said Maria.

Whether you like it or not, Dream friends need to consume fiber-rich foods or drinks to facilitate the digestive system every day.
