Tips for Improving Your Metabolic Health With OSA
Ready to take action? “Focusing on a healthy lifestyle can improve your OSA and metabolic health,” says Ho. These steps can support metabolic health if you have OSA.
1. Find Substitutes for Processed Food
“See if there are processed foods that you can decrease or cut out from your diet and find healthier replacements that perhaps have less processed sugars or saturated fats or more dietary fiber,” says Ho. Eating healthfully (with foods low in saturated fat, sodium, and sugar) can stabilize blood sugar and improve heart health.
2. Set a Movement Goal
“Find enjoyable ways you can move more and set a realistic and achievable goal around this activity that you can maintain long term, even during busy weeks,” says Ho. That could be starting small with 10 minutes of activity two to three days a week.
