Metabolic syndrome refers to a cluster of conditions, including obesity, high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, and abnormal cholesterol levels, which increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes. It can be prevented through lifestyle modifications such as regular physical activity, healthy dietary choices, and weight management. Incorporating aerobic and strength training exercises can improve cardiovascular health and insulin sensitivity. Additionally, reducing intake of processed foods, sugars, and trans fats while increasing fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can support metabolic health. Regular health check-ups are also essential for early intervention.
