| Our metabolic rates plummet as we age, decreasing about 1 percent each year after age 30. But there are five things you can do to help combat metabolic slowdown, SELF magazine reported. |
人的代谢率随着年龄增长而迅速下降，30岁之后每年减缓1%。《悦己》杂志则给出了5种抵抗代谢减缓的方法： |
| 1. Build muscle. Weight training increases lean muscle mass, which raises the amount of calories your body uses, even when you're resting. |
1. 塑造肌肉。重量训练可以增强精益肌肉质量，使人体即使在休息时也能消耗更多热量。 |
| 2. Start eating! Eat within an hour of waking to kick-start your metabolism. Keep eating every three to four hours but stop an hour before bedtime. |
2. 好好吃饭。醒来一小时内进食，人体新陈代谢由此开启。然后每隔三四个小时进食一次，入睡前一小时不再进食。 |
| 3. Nosh on protein at every meal. Protein boosts your metabolism more than fat or carbohydrates. |
3. 每餐补充点蛋白质，因为蛋白质比脂肪和碳水化合物更能加速新陈代谢。 |
| 4. Get moving. Interval training with bursts of high-intensity cardio will stoke your metabolic rate and keep it humming for hours. |
4. 多运动。高强度间歇性锻炼可使代谢率迅速提高，代谢过程可持续好几个小时。 |
|
5. Drink water. Studies show that people who drink 8-ounce glasses of water eight to 12 times a day have higher metabolic rates than those who drink four.

5. 多喝水。研究发现，每天饮水8到12次、每次饮水8盎司的人比每次饮水4 盎司的人的代谢率要高。 |
