How is metabolic syndrome treated?
The first steps in treating metabolic syndrome are: Weight control: Weight loss lowers LDL cholesterol and reduces all of the risk factors for metabolic syndrome. Physical activity: Regular physical activity reduces very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels, raises HDL cholesterol and, in some people, lowers LDL levels. It can also lower blood pressure, reduce insulin resistance, and improve heart function.
