Stress, Sugar, Unhealthy Habits Fuel Metabolic Disorders: Expert Warns

• Wellness expert Dr. Narendra K Shetty warns that metabolic disorders stem from repeated internal insults like excess sugar, chronic stress, and poor lifestyle choices.
• Excess fructose from sugar is converted to fat by the liver, increasing risks of fatty liver, high triglycerides, and hypertension.
• Sugar also creates inflammatory compounds (AGEs) and disrupts hunger hormones, leading to overeating and abdominal fat.
• Chronic stress triggers cortisol and adrenaline, raising blood sugar, causing insulin resistance, and pushing glucose into fat stores.
• Sedentary routines, poor sleep, and irregular meals contribute to low-grade inflammation (metaflammation), impairing glucose use and energy levels.

Why It Matters: Combat metabolic disorders by managing stress, reducing sugar, and adopting healthy lifestyle habits.
