Description
Burn The Misunderstood Science of Metabolism by Herman Pontzer A pioneering evolutionary biologist sets out to debunk the myths surrounding metabolism, revealing the hidden foundations of our bodies and the surprising truth about how we burn calories. Contrary to long-held assumptions, exercise does not increase our metabolism, but rather we burn calories within a narrow range of nearly 3,000 calories per day, regardless of our activity level. In this book, Pontzer draws on twenty years of cutting-edge science to explore the dynamic system that sustains us, shedding light on the intricate relationships between energy consumption, fertility, immune function, and overall health.
