A slow metabolism can affect overall health, reduce energy and lead to unwanted weight gain.

Symptoms of slow metabolism

Unusual weight gain: Weight changes, without changes in diet or exercise, are a telltale sign.

Persistent fatigue: Lack of energy throughout the day can be a sign of a slow metabolism.

Difficulty losing weight: Even though you eat less and exercise more, your weight still does not decrease, which is a sign of slow metabolism.

Dull, dry, aging skin: Slow metabolism affects the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the skin.

Digestive problems: Bloating, constipation, indigestion may be related to slow metabolism.

Feeling colder than usual: Slow metabolism makes it difficult for the body to maintain a stable temperature.

Sleep problems: Slow metabolism can affect the quality of your sleep, making it difficult to fall asleep or waking up in the middle of the night.

How to improve your metabolism

Increase protein: Protein has a thermic effect, helping you burn more calories during digestion. Include protein-rich foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, beans, and nuts.

Drink enough water: Water not only helps improve digestion but also helps the body maintain metabolism. Drinking water regularly throughout the day, especially before meals, will help reduce your appetite and improve metabolism.

Strength training: Weight lifting or resistance training helps build muscle, which in turn boosts metabolism, helping the body burn calories even at rest.

Get enough sleep: Too little or too little sleep disrupts the hormones that regulate metabolism. Make sure you get 7–9 hours of sleep each night to help your body recover and optimize your metabolism.

Eat small, frequent meals: Eating balanced meals, 3-4 hours apart, helps maintain a steady metabolism throughout the day.
