The body goes through significant changes due to a variety of factors, including metabolism, lifestyle, and natural aging processes. Here are some facts behind the rant in my episode Metabolism and Aging Our metabolism is slow. As we age, our basal metabolic rate (BMR) decreases, which means we burn fewer calories at rest than we did as teenagers. This is partly due to a natural loss of muscle mass and changes in hormonal levels. Our hormones change. Hormones such as testosterone, estrogen, and growth hormone play a significant role in body composition.

Episode 72 In this episode, talking about healthy jobs versus unhealthy jobs makes you think about the type of field you are in. You wouldn't think that a job is necessarily unhealthy until you either experience it or have a friend or family member who can tell you about it. You wouldn't think a harmless job being behind a desk for 40 hours a week is unhealthy because you aren't doing anything that's deemed unhealthy. But would you believe that sitting around all day is in fact unhealthy? I know I didn't think so until I got into this habit of being at desk everyday would do to me.

 Episode 67 Fact number one. Do you like fruit? Well Frozen Fruit might be a little better for you. We are possibly programmed to believe that fresh is the only way to go when it comes to fruits and veggies but the truth is that if they are frozen they can sometimes be even better for you.
