I have read that, sadly, yes it does. It's something that can be partially prevented with regular aerobic exercise, weight training and a good healthy diet.

How much does age affect our metabolism?

Why does metabolism slow down as you get older?

Just like if you sit around and play with a rubber band for 70+ years, it will eventually wear out and start to break down. The same happens in your body when you age. Everything is working 24/7 every year of your life so it will start to slow down. Also, the elderly are usually less active than when they were younger, I don't know EXACTLY how, but you always hear that "the more active you are, the faster your metabolism is". Hope that helps :-)

How your metabolism slows down?

Metabolism can slow down due to various factors such as aging, muscle loss, hormonal imbalances, inadequate calorie intake, and lack of physical activity. As we age, we tend to lose muscle mass, which can decrease our metabolic rate. Hormonal changes can also play a role in slowing down metabolism, particularly in conditions like hypothyroidism. Inadequate calorie intake or crash dieting can signal to the body to conserve energy, leading to a decrease in metabolism. Lastly, a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to a slower metabolism as regular physical activity helps to boost metabolic rate.
