Die Stimme unseres Körpers – ein Abend mit dem Kölner Sportwissenschaftler Prof. Ingo Froböse

In the organizer's words:

How loud does the "inner voice" of our body actually speak - and why do we so often ignore it? The "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger" invites you to a special evening with Prof. Ingo Froböse: In a keynote speech followed by a discussion, the Cologne-based sports scientist and bestselling author will show why real health begins when we learn to listen to our bodies again. "The heart already knows," says Froböse, who published the book "The Voice of Our Body" in January. If you can feel your resting heart rate in bed in the morning, you can recognize early on whether stress or anxiety is working in your body. However, many people have "lost the feeling for the right level of stress" - they sit too long, move too little or jog faster than is good for them. Modern technology also only helps to a limited extent: "We are not machines - and should not chase after values that a machine sets for us."

In the interview, Froböse will explain why the body often whispers first - and only shouts later. Why tension, tiredness or a craving for sweets are important signals. And why he is convinced: "We don't have a stress problem, we have a regeneration problem." He also shows how simple breaks during office working hours can take the strain off body and mind.

After the lecture and discussion, everyone in the audience is invited to ask their own questions. An evening for anyone who wants to understand their body better again - and perhaps really listen for the first time. The event will be moderated by Sarah Brasack, deputy editor-in-chief of the "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger". With bookstall and book signing.

Free parking is available at the venue, and the "Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger" workstage is easily accessible by public transport (line 13/16 Amsterdamer Straße/Gürtel). Free choice of seats.
