Simply put, metabolism is the process of breaking down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats to yield the energy your body needs to maintain itself, and if you are looking for ways to increase your metabolism, you will need to focus on exercise and not only food.  The proven way to do this is to build muscle, which we lose as we age, and you have to remember that as your age increases, your activities need to increase as well, as being more muscular boosts your body’s energy needs. The good news is that it's never too late to build muscle, so regardless of how old you are or how much muscle you have lost, you can still increase your metabolism.
How to increase your metabolism:

• Don't skip meals but rather eat 5 – 6 small meals during the day.  Starving slows down the metabolism.
• Limit alcohol and avoid sugar
• Exercise daily - most obesity and overweight conditions occur because people eat too much and move too little -- simple as that. Revving up to increase your metabolism is clearly about moving more. High-intensity exercises are great but not everyone is able to exercise at that intensity. Building more muscle is a longer-term goal; you have to move more throughout the waking hours
• Build your muscle. When muscle mass decreases, the metabolic rate also drops.
• Drink plenty of water
• Eat high nutrition foods
