Thin? Just Lucky With a Fast Metabolism? Die Sooner? Maybe

Ever hear or say, "I'm just lucky, I was born with a fast metabolism."

Well people that say this, may not be so lucky, especially if they actually have a fast metabolism. 

According to a new study Increased metabolic rate may lead to accelerated aging, an actual higher metabolic rate equates to higher mortality rate and thus shorter lifespan.  


The hotter you burn, the faster you burn out.


So I guess there is something to being a couch potato after all.
