Metabolic syndrome is a condition in which the body gradually becomes less able to regulate its metabolism.
It may be accompanied by:
Gaining weight
High blood sugar levels
High blood cholesterol levels
Fluctuations in blood pressure
Constant fatigue
A drop in energy levels
In many cases, such changes develop gradually under the influence of diet, lifestyle, chronic stress and insufficient physical activity.
The cornerstone of this support is dietary adjustments, with an emphasis on whole foods, an adequate intake of fibre and healthy fats, and controlling the consumption of simple carbohydrates.
Regular physical activity also plays an important role, helping to maintain a healthy metabolism, energy levels and general well-being.
Current statistics
According to the International Diabetes Federation, signs of metabolic syndrome are found in approximately one in four adults.
This condition develops gradually and often goes unnoticed for a long time, whilst increasing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
