What is metabolic syndrome and how does it affect the body?
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of symptoms that include:
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- High blood sugar
- Excess body fat around the waist (apple and pear shaped bodies)
Having just one of these conditions doesn't necessarily mean you have metabolic syndrome but it could create a greater risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Dr. Hansen talks about how common it is and some of the ways you can address it by making small, sustainable lifestyle changes.
