Spiegel bestseller author and expert for BAT Professor Alexander Bartelt on the previously unknown topic of brown body fat
Brown fat cells in our body are different from the white fat cells that we all know and that can make us fat and sick.
Brown fat cells help us lose weight and have a positive effect on our metabolism and our health. These fascinating cells can convert excess calories into heat. That is why researchers around the world are on the trail of the secrets of brown fat tissue.
Prof. Dr. Alexander Bartelt is a pioneer and leading scientist on the subject of body fat. With his research, the biomedical scientist shows what we need to do to activate the good fat, thereby becoming healthier and losing weight, and also which diseases it could be used for.
Latest research results
The book “The Fat Expert” explains all the latest research results in a clear way: The correct handling of brown fat not only reduces excess weight, but also prevents metabolic diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis (deposits of fat and calcium in the arterial blood vessels).
“The Fat Expert” is a basic work on the subject of brown body fat. The book is available for EUR 16.99 in bookstores or in the SlimCOOL Shop.
