Our metabolism plays a crucial role in determining whether we convert food into energy or accumulate extra weight. Many of us blame a “slow” metabolism when we struggle to lose weight, leading to a massive industry of products claiming to speed up our metabolic rate. However, rather than relying on supplements, there are natural methods
