There are many reasons for the development of metabolic syndrome. These include a poor diet, obesity, lack of physical activity, and genetics.
Regular exercise or moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes daily can prevent the risk of metabolic syndrome.
Besides, a healthy diet, adequate sleep, low sodium intake etc. can reduce the risk. Keep your mind peacefully by doing meditation and yoga regularly to prevent the condition.
Follow these tips. Also, eat healthy food to prevent risk.
