Soft drinks raise risk of metabolic Syndrome

By
Soft drinks raise risk of metabolic Syndrome: The link between regular soft drinks and metabolic syndrome is almost certainly connected to their high calorie and high sugar content. The calories they contain are considered "empty" calories. The high calorie content in regular soft drinks contributes directly to weight gain, with very little nutritional gain to show for those calories.
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of the symptoms such as high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, and insulin resistance which increase the risk for coronary artery disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

Recommendation on Physical Activity

By
 Lack of physical activity increases your risk for heart attack and stroke and can contribute to obesity. On the other hand, regular physical activity helps to reduce blood pressure, control weight and reduce stress. For overall health benefits to the heart, lungs and circulation perform any moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic activity using the following guidelines of AHA (American Heart Association): Ø   Get the equivalent of at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity (2 hours and 30 minutes) each week. Ø   You can incorporate your weekly physical activity with 30 minutes a day on at least 5 days a week. Ø   Physical activity should be performed in episodes of at least 10 minutes, and preferably, it should be spread throughout the week. Ø   Include flexibility and stretching exercises. Ø   Include muscle strengthening activity at least 2 days each week.
