Fat important!
Do you want to know why your neighbor always remains slim and you yourself become a little heavier? Or why it is good to turn down your heating? Or how hormones affect your body weight? Then listen to this episode of Healthy Conversation with the subject ‘fat’!
We talk to two experts who wrote an excellent book on the subject entitled ‘Fat important‘.
Liesbeth van Rossum is an internist and endocrinologist and Mariette Boon is an internist in training and researcher into brown fat. They know everything about body fat and how you can influence it. Our body fat is not just a pile of blubber, no: it is an active organ. Body fat makes hormones, regulates hunger and satiety, is a source of energy but can also mess up your metabolism.
Do you want to lose weight? Then listen to this episode before you start dieting, because then you can avoid common mistakes. No time to listen to this podcast or read back what has been said? Here is a summary of the conversation.
