Healthy habits are crucial in our busy world.
Sports scientist Ingo Froböse has published a new book on the subject.
Everything has to go fast.
Also with nutrition.
This can often have negative effects.
But healthy habits are more important than ever to keep our bodies in balance.
Especially from the age of 50, a balanced diet, regular exercise and restful sleep become more important.
But how can we effectively support our metabolism?
Sports scientist Ingo Froböse, professor at the German Sport University Cologne, gives
insights into his new book “The Metabolism Compass” in an exclusive interview with
Ippen.Media .

The sports medicine specialist's most important points can be summarized as follows:
The fight against fat is hopeless
: Froböse emphasizes that saving calories is not the key to losing weight.
Instead, it is important to change body composition through balanced nutrition and targeted training.
Time is no excuse
: Froböse shows that around 90 minutes of exercise every day can have a big impact.
Small fitness exercises can also be integrated into everyday life to use time effectively.

Hydration and nutrition
: Drinking the right amount is crucial for metabolism.
Tea and coffee are included in the amount of liquid, but a biorhythmic drinking style is recommended.
Target belly fat
: A combination of endurance and muscle training as well as a balanced diet is the key.
Quick successes are not to be expected, but they are effective in the long term.
The book “Anti-Belly Fat Formula” is also a good starting point.
Enjoyment and cooking yourself:
Due to the fast food culture and the “to-go” mentality, many people have lost the taste and joy of eating.
Cooking for yourself makes it possible to regain control over your diet and rediscover enjoyment.
Rest phases and biorhythmic nutrition
: A balanced diet rich in proteins supports the metabolism.
In addition, rest periods before going to bed are important to regulate melatonin metabolism.
Ingo Froböse's findings offer a new look at the topic of losing weight and health.
Instead of fighting against fat, we should support our metabolism through a balanced diet, regular exercise and rest periods.
By living more consciously and listening to our bodies, we can achieve greater vitality and well-being in the long term.
