Complications
Treatment
If diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, the goal would be to reduce the risk of complications. Change in lifestyle would be recommended by doctors, including intense exercises to reduce weight. The prescription will be provided for reducing blood pressure, cholesterol, and/or blood sugar. Also low-dose aspirin is prescribed to help reduce your risk of stroke and heart attack.
How can metabolic syndrome be prevented?
Preventing metabolic syndrome is certainly possible. Sustaining a healthy waist circumference and blood pressure and cholesterol levels, reduce your risk for metabolic syndrome. Exercise and weight loss can aid in these efforts and decrease insulin resistance.
Eat a healthy diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Exercise is also important when it comes to preventing this condition. Regular physical activity will reduce your blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. The key is to try to maintain a healthy weight. Talk to your doctor before beginning an exercise program or radically changing your diet.
Avoidance of metabolic syndrome will also require that you have regular physical exams. Your doctor can measure your blood pressure and complete blood work that may indicate the early development of metabolic syndrome. Premature diagnosis of the condition and treatment will reduce health complications over the long term.
