Metabolic syndrome increases heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes risk. An inactive lifestyle can worsen metabolic syndrome and have a variety of negative implications on metabolic health.
Metabolic syndrome include obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension.
Physical inactivity is a primary cause of insulin resistance, which raises blood sugar.
Lack of exercise can cause dyslipidemia, which is characterized by high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, and high LDL particles.
Metabolic syndrome raises cardiovascular disease risk with dyslipidemia.
Hypertension, a crucial metabolic syndrome component, can result from inactivity.
Sedentary lifestyles increase visceral fat, especially abdominal fat.
Inflammation from metabolically active visceral fat causes insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction.
