How much do we know about metabolisms, really? We know that metabolism refers to the process in which food gets converted into energy, but what else is there to it?

Erin O'Hara, naturopath and wellness expert, explained that our metabolisms can be influenced by more than just genetics, and that lifestyle has a substantial impact on what makes a metabolism fast or slow.

Erin O'Hara also explained that metabolisms are also affected by diet, activity level, and gender, and that they don't stop working as people age, and that being active as you get older is important to maintain lean muscle mass.
