(dt. Warum machen Gehirne dick?)
Overweight, obesity and other diet-related chronic diseases are challenging healthcare systems worldwide. Our brain not only regulates food intake and metabolism, but also our eating habits. How can we change cherished habits and effectively implement a healthy diet in disease prevention?
Pediatrician Annette Grüters-Kieslich provides insights into everyday clinical practice with overweight and obese patients and presents current treatment and prevention options ranging from nutritional advice and stomach reduction to so-called weight loss injections. Neurobiologist Martin Korte will explain the evolution and functioning of our brain in relation to nutrition, learning and behavioral changes. Moderated by Constanze Bickelmann, they will discuss promising approaches in the context of the nutritional turnaround.
The discussion will be held in German.

A fundamental transformation of our food system is needed to ensure healthy and sustainable nutrition for all.
This food transition offers significant opportunities for the health of the population, living beings and the planet. At the same time, it is associated with major challenges: We must ensure the quality and availability of food. Political scope for action must be used to promote changes in consumer behavior at an individual and societal level. Concerted efforts by science, politics, business and society are necessary for this transformation to succeed.
The events will all be held in German.
