metabolic health

Metabolic health describes how well your body's processes, like converting food into energy and regulating blood sugar, fat, and hormones, are functioning. Good metabolic health means your body effectively manages these processes without issues like insulin resistance, high blood sugar, or abnormal cholesterol levels. Maintaining metabolic health is important because it reduces the risk of conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Factors influencing metabolic health include diet, physical activity, weight, sleep, and genetics. Achieving and maintaining metabolic health involves balanced nutrition, regular exercise, healthy weight, and other lifestyle choices that support the body's natural metabolic functions.
