Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Body metabolism: determines how quickly we burn calories. Since you are 19 y.o. your metabolism is high but will slow down over time. In the meanwhile, exercise can help you gain muscle. Peace and good health. Whey protein shakes or other protein can help.
