Vivian carried out the similar activates when she was 20 and intends to do so when she is 50. Does age affect metabolism?
(500 words)
Answer:
Energy metabolism changes occur due to many factors and age is one
of them.decrease in metabolic rate(basal) is linear with respect to
age.the largest portion of body energy is consumed by musculature
(skeletal). With increasing age muscle decreases and fat tissue
increases.muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, intake of energy and
essential nutrients also decreases.fat increases in the stomach of
the abdomen of old age adults.accumulation of fat cause imbalance
in lipid and glucose metabolism.
Physical activity, quitting smoking and adding healthy food to a
diet can reduce signs of ageing and delay the process of
ageing.
