while training regularly), your testosterone levels can drop up to 50 %, resulting with a

While it's true that your
metabolic rate generally
decreases with age, it's largely due to a corresponding
decrease in muscle mass, which

rate at which you burn calories; however, there's no reason that age needs to lead to a slower metabolism as long as you stay active and eat healthy.
