Metabolic rates begin to wane down at a different
pace for both males and females. Men tend to have a slower metabolic rate at
the age of thirty, while
women experience this at the age of twenty-five. The slow metabolic rate is
caused by the body's natural way of deteriorating as it ages. When metabolic
rates are slow, people are advised to expend more energy and take in lesser
calories so as to maintain physical characteristics of the body. But on rare
occasions, others tend to have slow metabolic rates in later parts of their lives. This is
mainly because of factors like heredity and the lifestyle a person is making.
