Manage your cardio metabolic health with your personalised lifestyle blueprint

Diet plays a critical role in managing cardiometabolic health. Foods that are high in unhealthy fats, sugars, and salt can exacerbate these conditions. Conversely, a Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats, has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Chronic stress has been associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Techniques such as mindfulness and meditation have been shown to lower blood pressure and heart rate, reducing stress's impact on the heart.

Strength training can improve insulin sensitivity and muscle mass, both critical in managing diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Regular aerobic exercise, like brisk walking or cycling, has been proven to reduce the risk of heart disease.

Research indicates that poor sleep quality is linked to an increased risk of hypertension and insulin resistance. Adults who sleep less than 7 hours per night are more likely to develop these cardiometabolic risk factors.

Exposure to environmental pollutants like air pollution has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Reducing exposure and focusing on a healthy lifestyle can mitigate its impact.
