What Causes Metabolic Syndrome? |
Metabolic syndrome has several causes that act together. You can control some of the causes, such as overweight and obesity, an inactive lifestyle, and insulin resistance. You can’t control other factors, such as growing older, genetics, or coexisting conditions such as excessive blood clotting and constant, low-grade inflammation. |

What Are the Risks of Smoking? |
The chemicals in tobacco smoke, including secondhand smoke and smoke from pipes or cigars, can cause changes in the body. Body changes can include inflammation, damage to blood vessel walls, changes to heart rhythm, an increase in blood pressure, changes in cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and thickened blood. Smoking can increase your risk for heart disease and peripheral artery disease. |

Riesgos de la actividad física |
En general, los beneficios de la actividad física que se practica con regularidad superan los riesgos. En raras ocasiones se presentan problemas del corazón, como por ejemplo, arritmias, paro cardíaco súbito y ataque cardíaco. Estos problemas ocurren generalmente en personas que ya tienen enfermedades del corazón, como enfermedad coronaria y enfermedad congénita del corazón. Debe preguntarle siempre a su médico qué tipo y qué cantidad de actividad física puede realizar sin peligro. |
