Udo S. suffers from the incurable lung disease COPD. The airways in his lungs are narrowed and chronically inflamed. The result: severe shortness of breath. The 69-year-old has to stop and catch his breath far too often, and now he even needs additional oxygen. Nutritionist Silja Schäfer is concerned about his critical state of health and wants to help him to cope better with the disease. With over 60 liters of fat, Udo S. urgently needs to get rid of excess weight in order to get fitter. His massive belly fat in particular promotes inflammation and worsens his COPD. Instead of the daily portions of meat, he now eats fiber-rich whole grain products and vegetables, as well as gut-healthy and probiotic foods such as natural yogurt, kefir or sauerkraut. A regular exercise program is also supposed to strengthen the lungs. Tight program for the overweight Udo S.!
