Metabolic Syndrome & Insulin Resistance
Metabolic Syndrome & Insulin Resistance: Comprehensive Care for Long-Term Wellness
Understanding Metabolic Syndrome & Insulin Resistance
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. It includes high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Insulin resistance, a key factor in metabolic syndrome, occurs when the body’s cells no longer respond properly to insulin, leading to elevated blood sugar levels. Both conditions are closely linked and often occur together, creating a complex challenge for long-term health.
The Connection Between Metabolic Syndrome & Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance is often the root cause of metabolic syndrome. When the body becomes resistant to insulin, it struggles to manage blood sugar levels, leading to higher insulin levels in the blood. Over time, this can cause a cascade of metabolic problems, including increased fat storage, higher blood pressure, and cholesterol imbalances. Left unmanaged, this can raise the risk of developing heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, which are all major health concerns.
