What You Need To Know About Sugar, Joints & Your Metabolism
Metabolism is the chemical process in which the body converts foods into energy. This is one of the most important bodily processes needed for life. Unfortunately, these chemical reactions that take place in these metabolic pathways are easily interrupted causing metabolic disfunction.
About 1 in 3 adults are predicted to have metabolic syndrome. Metabolic Syndrome is a group of abnormalities that affect metabolic function and health that have the potential to result in serios life threatening conditions if left unmanaged.
Metabolic syndrome is diagnose when someone meets 3 or more criteria:
- HDL less than 40mg/dl for men or 50 mg/dl for women
- Fasting blood glucose greater than 100 mg/dl
- Triglycerides level above 150 mg/dl
- Blood pressure of 130/85 mm Hg or higher
- Waistline of 40 inches + for men or 35 inches + for women
4 Common Symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome
Diabetes
One of the most prominent symptoms of metabolic syndrome is insulin resistance which if left unchecked can progress into prediabetes and diabetes. In this scenario the body is unable to efficiently make use of insulin to break down glucose in the body into useable energy.
High Blood Pressure
Blood pressure of 130/85 mm HG or higher is a defining factor of metabolic syndrome. Maintaining a high blood pressure level for an extended period of time puts you at a higher risk of suffering from a cardiovascular event like heart attack or stroke.
Joint Pain
Metabolic syndrome and high glucose are leading causes of pain that no one thinks about. Sugar destroys your body by increasing inflammation, turning joints into achy messes.
Liver Disease
Metabolic syndrome increases the chances of developing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. Metabolic markers includes triglyceride. Metabolic syndrome can cause an accumulation of triglycerides – extra calories your body doesn’t need.

Daily Exercise can help improve your insulin sensitivity, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. Aerobic exercise, also known as cardio exercises like walking, running, swimming, and cycling stimulates breathing and heart rate. It is recommended to get approximately 150 minutes of aerobic exercise every week.
Many health care professionals recommend a Mediterranean Diet for those diagnosed with metabolic syndrome and those at risk of developing metabolic syndrome. This diet consists of minimally processed foods, fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and healthy fats like olive oil.
Insomnia has been found to be a risk factor for developing metabolic syndrome. Keeping a sleeping habit that has you sleeping between 6-8 hours is optimal for metabolic health. Studies have shown that sleeping less than 6 hours and more than 8 hours can increase the risk of metabolic conditions and diseases.
