Study Says Stop Blaming Weight Gain On Your Slowing Metabolism

(Durham, NC) — You can stop blaming the extra pounds you’re carrying around on a metabolism that’s slowing down as you age. A Duke University published in the journal Science says the common belief that metabolic decline is inevitable isn’t true until we hit age 60. Lead researcher Herman Ponzer and his team studied a database of 64-hundred people from 29 countries including newborns and folks in their nineties. So, what causes weight gain, besides eating too much and moving too little? One dietician responding to the study believes it’s a combination of factors including where you live and changes in your sleep routine.
