Q I'm short on sleep and under a lot of stress. Are these related to metabolic syndrome too?
A Lack of sleep and chronic stress disrupt appetite and metabolic hormones, building visceral fat and raising blood pressure and blood sugar. Sleeping regularly and enough and managing stress are metabolic care just as important as diet and exercise.
Detailed Answer
Though not widely known, sleep and stress are deeply connected to metabolic syndrome. When you're short on sleep, hormones that boost appetite increase while fullness signals decrease, making it easy to overeat, and chronic stress works to raise blood sugar and blood pressure and build belly fat. Regular sleep and stress relief must go together with diet and exercise for management to be complete.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, we see lack of sleep and tension as stagnating circulation and pressing down metabolism, causing more surplus to pile up. So in the course of care, we also address lowering clustered, rising heat and calming an oversensitive body to restore sleep quality. When sleep and tension ease, metabolism revives and managing belly fat and the numbers becomes far smoother.
