Cause Of Slow
Metabolism...
And It's Not What You Think...

Harvard scientists used cutting-edge
microscopic techniques to study 1,700
women and men, and found just one
one common factor in every
overweight person: low mitochondria
levels. They also found one thing
common in every person who was
slim, toned and has smooth young
skin: high mitochondria levels.

That's because like little engines,
mitochondria are tiny parts found
inside every cell in our body that make
energy from the food we eat and by
burning fat stored in our body. This
energy, called ATP, is what our body
needs to do everything-from moving
our muscles, to our heart beat, to
thinking.

In short, mitochondria burn fat and
fuel every part of our body to keep it
running smoothly. So the more
mitochondria you have, the more fat
you burn!
