I've been told that I have a sluggish metabolism. Is this true?

It's hard to say for sure, but it's possible. Your body is made up of many different systems that work together to help you digest food and use the energy from your food. One of these systems is called the digestive system. The digestive system breaks down food into smaller pieces so that your body can absorb them more easily. If your digestive system isn't working as well as it should, then it could be slowing down the process of breaking down and absorbing your food.
