”While 50 may be the new 30, there are some physiological truths that can still make you look and feel like 50—especially when it comes to losing weight.”
”It’s impossible to deny that your body chemistry has changed over the last couple of decades. “No matter what your metabolism is like in your 20s, you have probably been told that it’s all just downhill once you hit 30,” says Luiza Petre, MD, a New York City-based weight loss and management specialist and assistant clinical professor of cardiology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.”
In short:
