Slim in the long run - How to defeat the yoyo effect?
swr betrifft, 45 min
While full fat stores directly under the skin are usually harmless, fat in the abdomen or liver increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Even slim people can carry this dangerous fat.
How unhealthy is body fat?
All you have to do is eat in a disciplined way and exercise twice a week, and you're sure to be spared diabetes. This is the impression conveyed by many media reports. Is it really true?
How can I lower my risk of diabetes?
How can you start eating healthier? What is a realistic first step towards a healthy diet? We talk about these questions with Prof. Dr. Andreas Fritsche, who holds the Chair of Prevention and Nutritional Medicine at the University Hospital of Tübingen.
