Why Risky from the Age 40?

Metabolic syndrome refers to a syndrome that causes adult diseases such as diabetes and hypertension due to obesity in which visceral fat accumulates. If you leave the state of metabolic syndrome it is said to be dangerous because it leads to heart disease and cerebral infarction.
Even those who were thin at the age of 20s and 30s can have metabolic syndrome in their 40s. There are many cases that young are not becoming metabolic syndrome even if they are obese. But there are cases where aged people become metabolic syndrome even if they do not think they are obese. Metabolic syndrome gradually increases its risk since the age of 40 (some people from the age of 30).
Why does the risk of metabolic syndrome increase when you age?
There are several reasons why the risk of metabolic syndrome rises with age.
One thing is that the amount of exercise per day gradually decreases with age. It is common for salaried employees that when they were young they often move around for sales and when they are aged they go to management position as the amount of exercise falls considerably. If you do not move your body much with age, yet you are not careful about your eating customs, the risk of becoming metabolic syndrome also increases.
Also, if cholesterol have accumulated for the eating customs of many years and the basal metabolism decreases, you can become metabolic syndrome easily.
Humans change constitution with age. It may be unexpected burden for the body if it has the same sense as before. Let's review your physical condition on a regular basis and review the lifestyle such as meals and exercise.
