What is Cardio-Metabolic Health?

Cardiometabolic health refers to the health of our heart and metabolism—the body’s ability to process nutrients, manage blood sugar, and maintain healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight. 

Maintaining a healthy cardiometabolic profile reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other conditions that significantly impact quality of life. Issues like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and insulin resistance (where the body has trouble using sugar for energy) are common, especially in today’s fast-paced world, and can lead to cardiometabolic diseases when left unaddressed.

Focusing on lifestyle factors like balanced nutrition, regular physical activity, stress management, and adequate sleep can improve cardiometabolic health, lower inflammation, and increase energy and mental clarity. Small, consistent steps toward cardiometabolic health can have powerful impacts, protecting our bodies and minds for years to come!
