Thermogenesis Explained explores how our bodies produce heat and expend energy, offering insights into weight management and metabolic health. The book examines the science behind thermogenesis, revealing how factors like diet and activity levels influence calorie burning.
Did you know that your body continues to burn calories even when at rest, a process referred to as non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT)? Or that diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) accounts for a portion of the energy your body uses to digest and process food?
This book uniquely integrates nutrition science, exercise physiology, and endocrinology to offer a holistic view of thermogenesis. It systematically progresses from the fundamentals of energy balance to detailed discussions on diet-induced, exercise-associated, and adaptive thermogenesis.
The book's approach empowers readers to understand the physiological mechanisms involved and to make informed decisions about lifestyle, diet, and exercise, ultimately optimizing their metabolic rate and overall well-being.
