Cardiometabolic health encompasses the interconnectedness of your cardiovascular and metabolic systems. It’s about more than just preventing heart disease or diabetes—it’s about optimizing your overall health and well-being.
Factors that contribute to cardiometabolic health include:
Blood sugar levels: Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is crucial for preventing diabetes and related complications.
Cholesterol levels: Keeping cholesterol levels in check can reduce your risk of heart disease.
Blood pressure: Managing blood pressure is essential for heart health and overall cardiovascular function.
Body composition: A healthy body composition, with optimal levels of muscle and fat, is important for metabolic function.
Inflammation: Chronic inflammation can damage blood vessels and contribute to various metabolic disorders.
