How to treat metabolic syndrome

First: the first step is to lose weight, because at this time the patient is in the obesity stage, obesity is very bad for people, it will bring other diseases to the patient. So patients can change their diet and lifestyle and take the necessary drugs. The goal of weight loss is to keep the weight within 5% of the ideal weight. Doctors say patients should control total calories in their diet, reduce fat intake, and advocate light to moderate intensity physical activity (aerobic exercise) for 30 minutes every day, such as cycling, walking, dancing, etc.

Second: doctors say that metabolic syndrome can be treated by improving blood sugar. Patients should make a long-term plan to lose 5% - 10% of their body weight and do at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity (such as walking) every week.

Third: the doctor said that improving dyslipidemia is also one of the methods. There are two ways: one is the change of therapeutic lifestyle; the other is that after 3-6 months of lifestyle adjustment and diet control in patients without coronary heart disease, or 1-2 months of non drug basic treatment in patients with coronary heart disease, their blood lipid level still does not reach the control standard, so lipid regulating drugs should be used
