What is Metabolic Health ?
Metabolic health refers to the optimal functioning of an array of metabolic processes within the body comprising energy metabolism, glucose regulation, lipid metabolism, and insulin sensitivity. Key components of metabolic health are stable blood glucose levels, healthy lipid profiles, appropriate body weight, and preserved insulin sensitivity. While metabolic health fosters vitality and longevity, metabolic disorders are a major risk factor for the development of chronic, non-communicable diseases, prevalence of which is rapidly increasing across the world. Genetics, diet, physical activity level, sleep quality, stress and environmental exposures influence metabolic health. Maintenance of metabolic health is crucial for leading a good quality of life and requires awareness on various healthy lifestyle strategies.
