What is metabolic syndrome?
Metabolic syndrome is not only a disease but also a group of risk factors. This is a cluster of conditions that significantly increases the risk for several secondary diseases, like, cardiovascular disease, type2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver.
Large waist circumferences, high triglycerides, Low good cholesterol, High blood pressure, Elevated fasting blood sugar, hypertension, insulin resistance or hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia, along with central obesity, if you are facing these problems, you have metabolic syndrome.

Why should we avoid it?
Metabolic syndrome is not only a common disorder but that may change with a collection of troubling health traits on the rise. We should avoid it because with this disorder a human body can suffer from High blood pressure, excess body fat with a large waist, high triglyceride level, low HDL cholesterol, high blood sugar.
Stake:
If we meet the qualifications for metabolic syndrome and have at least three of the five health factors, we are at an elevated risk for heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. There can be a significant quality of life issues if we have a heart problem or stroke, and diabetes can impair our ability to function too and it is important because some of these things, if once they occur, then they are irreversible, there is no guarantee you will recover all functions after a stroke.

How Does a Metabolic Syndrome Occur in the human body?
Metabolic syndrome is likely to occur if we have certain risk factors. These risk factors are being overweight, having excess fat on the waist, and abnormal triglyceride levels. The metabolic system is actually our body’s reaction to adapting to an unhealthy lifestyle, that’s why we can say that diabetes is not a disorder but a response our bodies develop. Let's take an example, insulin resistance is developed as an adaption to prevent hyperglycemia, which can damage vital organs and increase the risk of heart, kidney, and nerve-related diseases. Even though metabolic syndrome is a severe health condition we can still reduce our risks significantly by changing our lifestyle for better health.
Is Diabetes a Reversible Metabolic Syndrome?
Diabetes is commonly known as a disease, as things we have to get rid of, and may recover from. The good news is that Diabetes is connected with metabolic syndrome, and these are not gene mutations in an individual’s DNA sequence. In another word, it is preventable, controllable, and reversible.

Role of nutrition in metabolic syndrome:
We can maintain a healthy weight and prevent developing insulin resistance by avoiding saturated and Tran’s fats, refined sugar, and salty processed foods. Eating fibre-rich foods, fruits, vegetables, whole grains every day, and limiting our alcohol intake lowers the risk of developing metabolic syndrome, including type2 diabetes. Let explain the connection between nutrition and metabolic syndrome by an example, if we end up having too much glucose, our body will save our life by becoming insulin resistant, because, when too much glucose goes into our body, it will kill the cells and lead to serious health problems. This is an adaptive response of the body that is connected directly with nutrition.
Physical activity can reduce metabolic syndrome:
Increasing our daily physical activity is essential to prevent our metabolic syndrome, boost our metabolism, balances our blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels and reduce high blood sugar levels, in other words, everything we need to lower our risk of having metabolic syndrome.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE:
Metabolic syndrome is associated with several disorders and the most important thing of which is included by:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus:
The chronic condition is characterized by abnormally high levels of blood glucose due to insulin resistance present in the body. The patients with this disease present with frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased appetite. This commonly results in antipathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. We can manage it through our lifestyle modification, drugs for modulation of insulin resistance, and ultimately insulin substitution.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):
In this syndrome, the ovary produces an abnormal amount of androgens. Menstrual cycles, infertility, acne and hirsutism, and metabolic syndrome, are the diseases of this syndrome. Its identification is based on the detection of anovulation, high androgen levels, and multiplication of ovarian cysts. We can manage it with antiandrogen drugs.
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA):
Sleep-related breathing condition is characterized by recurrent episodes of complete is the sign of this disease. Patients who are living with reduced or partly absent breathing during sleep are often associated with loud snoring, headaches, and daytime sleepiness, and are the sufferer of this disorder. We can manage it by weight loss for obese patients as well as continuous positive airway pressure and mandibular advancement devices.
Gout:
This type of inflammatory arthritis causes painful attacks of joint pain, most commonly at the base of the big toe. We can manage this disease by avoiding alcohol, fructose, organ meats, and seafood high in purine.
