Metabolic syndrome in short words can be explained as a group of conditions which includes increased blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist and or triglyceride levels, that occur together and increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. Most of the disorders associated with metabolic syndrome have no symptoms, although it is closely linked to overweight or obesity, insulin resistance, and inactivity. Recent researches proved that prolonged chronic stress can be a cause for metabolic syndrome by disrupting the hormonal balance of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Metabolic syndrome can be prevented or reversed by adopting a few numbers of lifestyle changes, including losing weight, regular exercise, a healthy diet, stopping smoking, and cutting down on alcohol.
