I love the sound of that- " Ultra metabolism". Sounds like a fat burning machine! Basically that is the thinking behind Dr. Mark Hyman's New York Best Seller. He has some great, sound advice in his book about stress, our diet , how our sleep patterns all contribute to creating a slower metabolism as we age.
A lot of these things I have heard before relating to our metabolism, but he has a whole chapter dedicated to how oxidative stress hinders our metabolism's from working efficiently. Here is a quote from the book:
" Oxidation is commonly seen in the visible world as rusting of a car or a sliced apple turning brown. It is also responsible for the wrinkles on your face when you have been exposed to too much sunlight over the years. The problem is the rust not only exits in the visible or outside world. we actually rust on the inside. And this contributes to impaired metabolism, weight gain, and aging. Think of it as wrinkles on the inside".
He talks about other factors that contribute to an aging, slowing metabolism, so oxidative stress is not the only factor. I just find it interesting that science has come so far to see that it is not always as simple as just what we eat.
If you would like to order the book, I ordered it from here: Ultra-Metabolism
