WHAT IS METABOLIC HEALTH?
Metabolic health refers to how well your body manages key processes like blood sugar regulation, blood pressure, and fat storage. When these systems are working well, your body is more efficient, your energy is steady, you are able to maintain a healthy weight, and your risk of chronic disease is lower.
On the flip side, poor metabolic health can show up as metabolic syndrome, a cluster of risk factors that indicate the body is struggling with insulin sensitivity and metabolic regulation. It's diagnosed when at least three of the following are present:
-
Abdominal obesity (excess fat around the midsection)
-
High blood pressure
-
High triglycerides
-
Low HDL cholesterol
-
Elevated fasting blood glucose
Metabolic syndrome significantly increases the risk of developing chronic conditions and can make it very difficult to lose weight.
