Symptoms of the five conditions making up metabolic syndrome may be hard to notice, so prevention is key! The good news is that preventing metabolic syndrome starts with healthy lifestyle changes, many of which you might already be doing to support your health. The American Heart Association recommends eating a heart-healthy diet that includes whole grains, fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy. Staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting processed foods, added sugars, sodium, and saturated fats can also help lower your risk.

Hydration = A happier heart! Staying hydrated helps your heart pump blood more easily and keeps your muscles running strong. It matters even more in hot weather, during exercise, if you have diabetes or heart disease, and if you are on any diuretic medications.

There are many ways to support hydration:

1. Prioritize water intake, as this is the best way to stay hydrated
2. Eat more fruits & veggies, as these are great sources of extra water, as well as nutrients and antioxidants
3. Skip the soda, sugary drinks, and too much caffeine, as they can dehydrate you further

Note that if you're already thirsty, you're likely already dehydrated, so sip water throughout the day. Learn more about hydration and your heart: https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/exercise-and-physical-activity/fitness-basics/staying-hydrated-staying-healthy

1. High blood sugar
2. High blood pressure
3. Low HDL or good cholesterol
4. High triglycerides
5. Large waist circumference

When someone has metabolic syndrome, the risk for more serious cardiovascular conditions increases. Learn more about metabolic syndrome and download a fact sheet from the American Heart Association: https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/metabolic-syndrome/about-metabolic-syndrome
