One way to slow down the aging process is found in the types of foods you choose to eat.

You may have heard, or learned from experience, that it’s more difficult for women to lose fat than men. People immediately think it must be estrogen or hormonal issues at play here. Perhaps the biggest factor is NOT hormones, but the simple fact that women are usually smaller and lighter than men.

I know this bit about calorie deficits may sound confusing to you so please allow me to explain myself.
