If you’re successful at managing your weight, you might assume that your metabolism is healthy. However, a recent study found that only 12% of American adults meet the ideal standards for 5 key indicators. Health experts now advise that it’s important to pay attention to blood sugar and other traits even if you’re not overweight. Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill focused on factors that can affect your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. In addition to blood sugar levels, that included triglycerides, cholesterol, blood pressure, and waist measurements. They found that less than a third of participants with normal weights had optimal metabolic health. Fortunately, simple lifestyle changes can have a dramatic effect. Run down this list of things you can do to keep your metabolism in top shape.
Talk with your doctor about any medications you may need to protect your metabolic health. Otherwise, a balanced diet and other positive lifestyle habits usually suffice to keep your heart healthy and lower your risk for diabetes and stroke.
