Rev Up Your Metabolic Health

Welcome To Gtc Judge Hamlyn

Did you know only 12 percent of American adults are metabolically healthy? Are you one of them?

Having good metabolic health is more than just being a healthy weight. Abnormalities in your blood sugar, waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides also can show how metabolically healthy you are now and how likely you are to develop serious conditions later. When at least 3 of these markers are out of range, a person is considered to have Metabolic Syndrome which shows that you are at risk for developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease or stroke. Approximately 1 in 3 adults in the United States have Metabolic Syndrome

One random high level may not indicate that you are in immediate danger but over time these levels can contribute to chronic inflammation, plaque buildup, issues with glucose processing, cancer development, chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, acne, brain fog and weight gain which are all symptoms of a metabolic problem. Even if all these biometrics are within range, there still may be room for improvement to further reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and liver disease. Even if we have a genetic predisposition toward a certain health problem, this does mean we are predestined to that fate It does indicate what we need to put some extra effort into, especially before issues develop Here are some steps we can make to start revving up our metabolic health:

Focus on getting 7-8 hours of good quality sleep every night

Eat in a balanced way.

Drink plenty of water every day For most people this means 8-12 cups of water

Quit smoking and limit alcohol intake to 2 or less for men and 1 or less for women per day. Get some physical activity daily Focus on building muscle and getting your heart rate up

Learn to manage stress well.
