Metabolism Boosters for Your 40′s

For women, it becomes increasingly difficult to lose weight once midlife sets in. A slower metabolism is mainly to blame, but there are things you can do to reignite it.

1. Eat Enough.
When you consume than 1,000 calories per day, or crash diet, your metabolism will slow in order to conserve energy. Eat several small meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism chugging along. Swap highly processed foods for whole foods like brown rice, green vegetables, fresh fruit, and lean protein.
