Both. But the slowing of metabolism is a real thing. “The primary thing that seems to occur is that mitochondria in the cells slow down with age,” says Newgard. (Think of mitochondria as little energy factories in cells that convert nutrients to power.)

And that’s not all. Barry Stein of Wake Forest University School of Medicine is writing a book about staying fit after 50. As he explains, “As we age, we are subject to sarcopenia—muscle wasting. Since muscle burns more energy than fat, this means the metabolic load goes down and metabolism reflects that.” That is, if you do nothing about your loss of muscle with age, it will take you longer to burn off a candy bar at age 60 than at 20.

So jedis with a lot of Mitochondria wouldn't get fat I guess. Thanks MSN

Is MAF not educated on high school biology? :lol The interesting thing about Mitochondira is that they have their own sets of DNA which are completely passed down by the mother. So if you're a fatty, blame your mom.
