Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell: Let's Talk About Fat

TL;DR

Fat isn’t just empty calories stored away—it’s actually a hormone-secreting, communication powerhouse that talks to your brain, immune system, and metabolism. In healthy amounts it helps regulate hunger, energy balance, and inflammation—too much, though, and it can trigger chronic inflammation, wreck your hormonal harmony, raise your risk for nearly every major disease, and even shave years off your life.

So what makes fat go from helpful to harmful? It comes down to how much you carry and where it’s stored. The good news: with the right diet, exercise, and lifestyle tweaks, you can shrink dangerous fat pads, restore hormonal balance, and reverse much of the damage.
