Most people don’t know how metabolism functions. Yes, it’s true! They understand that a slow or sluggish metabolism can cause weight gain, and difficulties in losing weight. But a slow metabolism can be much more problematic than just having a hard time losing body fat.

People who have a poorly functioning metabolism may experience certain symptoms like constantly feeling tired, dry skin, hair loss, headache, lack of mental clarity and focus, and frequent mood swings. You may also feel a bit depressed.
