These are factors that can affect production of thyroid hormones:
Nutrients that help manage diabetes:
Signs and symptoms include high blood sugar levels that cause noticeable health issues.
Metabolic Syndrome is not a disease in itself, but a group of risk factors that significantly raise the risk of cardiovascular health issues and type 2 diabetes.
The exact causes of Metabolic Syndrome are complex and involve an interplay of genetic and lifestyle factors, including overweight, inactive lifestyle, and insulin resistance.
Common features of Metabolic Syndrome include:
These symptoms collectively signal a higher risk for heart disease and other metabolic disorders. It's important to recognize these signs early, as they can often be managed or improved with lifestyle changes and medical guidance.
Metabolic Syndrome can lead to serious health issues like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam to measure waist circumference, blood tests to assess fats and sugar levels, and checking blood pressure.
Managing this condition requires adopting healthier lifestyles such as a nutritious diet and regular exercise, alongside weight loss strategies and medications to control blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels.
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is like a food processor for our bodies. It breaks down what we eat, absorbs nutrients, and gets rid of waste. But sometimes, it can run into some problems, which we call GI dysfunction.
GI dysfunction is when your digestive system doesn't work as it should. This can mean stomachaches, heartburn, bloating, or more serious issues like Crohn's disease or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
GI dysfunction can cause a range of discomforts and signal a disruption in your digestive health.
GI dysfunction occurs due to a variety of factors such as consuming foods that irritate the digestive system, experiencing high levels of stress or anxiety, contracting infections within the GI tract, or managing ongoing conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or celiac disease that inherently affect digestion.
If you're having trouble with digestion, it's important to talk to a healthcare professional. They can help pinpoint the cause of your discomfort and tailor a treatment plan to get your digestive system back on track.
Remember, taking care of your digestive health is key to a happy and healthy life!
Cardiovascular disease, or heart disease, refers to a range of conditions that affect your heart and blood vessels. It's one of the leading causes of illness and death worldwide, but the good news is that it's often preventable
Imagine your blood vessels are like highways and your blood is the traffic flowing through them. Cardiovascular disease occurs when there's a blockage or damage in these highways, making it tough for the traffic to move smoothly.
This can happen due to a buildup of fatty deposits on the vessel walls or because of damage from high blood pressure.
The main highways to the heart get clogged up, reducing blood flow to the heart muscle.
A blood vessel in the brain gets blocked or bursts, cutting off blood supply to part of the brain.
