Preventing disease, aging, and feeling full of energy, there is one aspect of our health that is important ❤️METABOLIC HEALTH.

How to Have Good Metabolic Health

Metabolic health is defined in a lot of ways, but generally, it pertains to having the ideal levels of blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, triglycerides, and weight. These are factors that contribute to a person’s overall health and well-being. These factors can help us tell whether someone is at risk for diseases such as diabetes and stroke.

This is why if we want to prevent diseases and other physical ailments, we must take care of our metabolic health. It doesn’t stop there! Because having good metabolic health can help us feel young for longer while also keeping our energy levels high no matter our age.

Out of the factors, blood sugar is one of the things that you have to keep an eye out for the most. Having normal levels of blood sugar can keep you away from diabetes as you know when your hormones are working well.

Having good metabolic health can also help us lose weight and feel better. So, if you want to improve your metabolic health, then you’ve come to the right place! Here are some ways you can do it:

1. Strength over cardio. This is not to say that cardio workouts are useless, but when it comes to increasing your metabolism in general, having higher muscle mass can help you out a lot!
2. Keep an eye out for your cortisol levels. Having high cortisol levels can be an indicator of stress and high blood sugar. Hence, managing your stress can also affect your metabolic health.
3. Watch your diet. Just because you don’t eat food that are traditionally considered to be “junk foods”, it doesn’t mean that you’re not eating as much sugar and calories as before. So always check the nutrient contents of your food and not be complacent.
4. Speaking of food, you can also increase fiber intake. Fiber helps our digestive help and keeps us feeling full for much longer compared to just eating fat or carbohydrates. This will also lessen your sugary cravings enabling you to eat more healthily. You can start by eating foods high in fiber such as beans, avocado, lentils, oats, and almonds.
5. Limit inflammatory foods. Inflammatory foods are commonly encountered everyday such as soda, fried foods, white bread, red meat, and pastries. If you want to have better metabolic health, then you should consume these foods moderately or avoid them whenever you can.
6. Watch out for your blood sugar levels. As we’ve said before, blood sugar levels are a good indicator for a wide variety of illnesses particularly diabetes. So always get yourself tested routinely and make sure to keep it stable.
7. Avoid alcoholic beverages. Being an alcoholic is a surefire way to ruin your metabolic health and spiral into a wide array of health problems. Avoid drinking alcohol whenever you can and make sure to drink healthy and less sugary beverages!
