"Ever wondered what happens when your metabolism slows down? Here’s what you might experience: Easy weight gain as your body burns calories more slowly, constant fatigue due to inefficient energy conversion, increased sensitivity to cold as your body produces less heat, sluggish digestion leading to bloating or constipation, and rising cholesterol levels," says Nutritionist Karishma Shah in her recent Instagram post. (Freepik)
