In simpler terms, how can we look and feel better, how do we contribute to our aging and how can we slow it down?

The Top 5 Metabolism-Boosting Foods to Speed Up Weight Loss

“Boosting the metabolism” may very well be the “holy grail” of the fitness industry. Fortunately, there are several tried and true methods to accomplish this.
