Metabolic health has emerged as a pivotal topic of discussion in the wellness industry, shining a light on its crucial role in overall physical and mental wellbeing.
Metabolic health involves the optimal functioning of our body's biochemical processes, which govern our energy levels, weight management, mood, and risk for various diseases, including diabetes and cardiovascular conditions(1).
What is metabolic health?
Metabolic health is a term that encompasses a series of factors indicating the absence of metabolic dysfunction. It typically involves measurements such as blood sugar levels, cholesterol, waist circumference, blood pressure, and triglycerides.
Achieving and maintaining metabolic health is essential, as it significantly reduces the risk of metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.
Why is metabolic health trending?
The recent focus on metabolic health can be attributed to a growing awareness of its impact on overall health and longevity. Lifestyle diseases, primarily driven by poor metabolic health, have shown a significant increase, prompting individuals and health professionals alike to take action. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of maintaining good metabolic health. Research from The Lancet indicates that the post-pandemic era has seen a heightened priority placed on metabolic health as a fundamental component of fighting and preventing the severe outcomes associated with the virus(1).
