What is Metabolic Syndrome?
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of a number of metabolic disorders and is usually characterized by obesity, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol levels. Metabolic syndrome is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, diabetes and other serious health problems.
How is Metabolic Syndrome Treated?
Treatment for metabolic syndrome mainly involves lifestyle changes and medication:
- Lifestyle Changes:
- Diet: A diet low in calories, low in fat and high in fiber is recommended.
- Physical Activity: At least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week regulates metabolism.
- Weight control: Obesity is one of the main causes of metabolic syndrome, so it is important to achieve a healthy weight.
- Medication Therapy:
- Treatment of hypertension: Blood pressure regulators can be used.
- Diabetes treatment: Medicines to stabilize blood sugar levels (insulin or oral diabetes medicines).
- Cholesterol treatment: Statins can be used to improve triglyceride and HDL levels.
Metabolic Syndrome Symptoms and Conditions
Metabolic syndrome usually has no obvious symptoms, but signs of the condition include a large waist circumference, excess abdominal fat, high blood pressure and frequent fasting blood sugar spikes. Identifying metabolic syndrome at an early stage is important to prevent future complications.
