(5) FEELING STRESSED MORE THAN USUAL. A slow metabolism can cause you to feel more stressed. And being stressed can actually cause your metabolism to slow (according to a new study).

Metabolism is how your body uses food as energy and then burns that energy to keep your body going. Even if you did nothing all day, your body would still need to use energy just to stay aliveâfor things like breathing and keeping your heart beating. This is called resting (or basal) metabolic rate.eight. Weight also affects resting metabolic rate. This is because people who weigh less need less energy (fewer calories) to fuel their bodies. So, if you weigh less, your metabolism will be slower than a woman who is the same age as you but weighs more.
