Der Stoffwechsel-Kompass

In "Der Stoffwechsel-Kompass," sport scientist Prof. Dr. Ingo Froböse explains how the body's metabolism governs far more than weight — influencing energy levels, organ function, and mental sharpness as we age. Drawing on his work at the German Sport University Cologne, where he heads the Center for Health through Sport and Movement, Froböse walks through how digestion, the heart, liver, kidneys, and respiration depend on a well-functioning metabolic system, and what happens when that system starts to falter.

The book is aimed particularly at readers in the second half of life, offering practical guidance on nutrition, movement, and lifestyle changes to keep the metabolism running well and to prevent premature physical decline. It combines general physiological explanation with targeted advice, though the age-specific material is concentrated mainly in the book's later sections.
