Normal BMI May Mask Metabolic Risks; Muscle Strength Key to Blood Sugar Control
Recent studies highlight that a normal BMI does not always indicate good metabolic health, especially in Indians who may carry excess visceral fat linked to diabetes and cardiovascular risks. Muscle mass plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar, with stronger muscles improving insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake. Experts emphasize that assessing metabolic health requires looking beyond weight to factors like fat distribution and muscle strength, alongside lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and sleep.
