It Depends..: Hormones control metabolism. They are released into the bloodstream and exert biochemical effects on receptor sites to regulate our body’s metabolism, reproduction, growth, aging ; immune functions. Unfortunately, as the body ages, the levels of hormones diminish, slowing down functions such as metabolism. If age is a factor, your metabolism could be slowing down. Diet ; exercise are also key!
