Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions, including increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels. It significantly raises the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Exercise can help manage and prevent metabolic syndrome by promoting weight loss, improving insulin sensitivity, and reducing harmful body fat. Regular physical activity directly mitigates each component of metabolic syndrome, supporting overall health and enabling individuals to live actively and prevent chronic disease onset.
