was ist fettstoffwechsel — what can you do yourself?

Fat metabolism encompasses all biochemical processes that digest, absorb, store, and oxidize fats for energy. It includes lipolysis, beta-oxidation, and ketogenesis. What you can do yourself: Adopt a diet rich in unsaturated fats (nuts, olive oil, fatty fish) and engage in regular aerobic exercise to enhance fat oxidation. Intermittent fasting may improve insulin sensitivity and promote fat burning. Genetic tests like those from MyBody-X can report variants in genes such as PPARG or APOE that modestly influence lipid metabolism, but the effect sizes are small and not clinically actionable. Lifestyle factors dominate. Evidence for self-directed changes based solely on genetics is weak. Caveat: If you have diagnosed lipid disorders, consult a physician before making major changes.
