Fat oxidation is the process of breaking down fatty acids for energy, which is essential in weight management. In individuals with obesity, impaired fat oxidation can contribute to excessive fat storage and weight gain. Improving fat oxidation rates through diet, exercise, or metabolic interventions can help reduce body fat and improve energy balance. For instance, high-intensity exercise and certain dietary patterns, such as a low-carb diet, have been shown to enhance fat oxidation. By boosting the body’s ability to burn fat, targeting fat oxidation holds promise in obesity treatment and in supporting a healthier body composition.
