Hands Off, Nando’s!
Sometimes, actually most of the time, companies let their inner sixth grader out to crack some dirty jokes, you know, just to get it out of their system.

Our sex (women have lower metabolism), height, weight, genetics, age (it dips as we age) – all affect our metabolism. But before you can dismiss it saying, “Oh, it’s hopeless if it’s all genetics” – here’s what you need to know: your lifestyle habits are at play too.
Yes, most of us are making enough mistakes every day to mess up our metabolism.
