Prediabetes occurs if your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not quite high enough to warrant a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes can be detected through routine health screenings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany younger adults come in for a checkup and are surprised to find out that they have prediabetes,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/provider\/nadine-k-gettel\/\">Nadine Gettel, MD, a board-certified physician<\/a> at MultiCare Auburn Internal Medicine. \u201cThe problem is that without lifestyle interventions it will likely develop into Type 2 diabetes, and that puts you at greater risk for a whole host of problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage and strokes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the incidence of prediabetes among younger adults is high, there are steps you can take to prevent it from graduating to Type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLifestyle changes like healthy eating, exercising and losing excess weight can reduce the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by 58 percent,\u201d Dr. Gettel says.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>High cholesterol<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Cholesterol, a fat produced in the liver, supports several important bodily functions, from hormone and tissue production to digestion. Our bodies naturally produce some cholesterol, and the rest we get from our diet \u2014 specifically from meat and dairy products. But too much cholesterol can be harmful.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jacc.org\/doi\/10.1016\/j.jacc.2021.08.065\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology<\/a> found that approximately 27 percent of U.S. adults between the ages of 18 to 39 had cholesterol that was high or borderline high.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHigh cholesterol can lead to cardiovascular disease, heart attacks and strokes,\u201d Dr. Schuman says. \u201cThe longer a person lives with high cholesterol, the greater their risk of experiencing those health problems, so it\u2019s important to monitor cholesterol levels throughout adulthood \u2014 not just when you\u2019re older.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>High cholesterol typically doesn\u2019t have symptoms, so you may not know you have it unless you receive a routine screening (a simple blood test known as a lipid panel). The American Heart Association recommends all adults 20 and older undergo a lipid panel every four to six years. People with cardiovascular disease or other risk factors, such as a family history of high cholesterol, may need to have their cholesterol checked more frequently.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00a0\u201cOne of the worst things you can do for your health is overly restrict calories to lose weight and then gain it all back a few months later. Instead, focus on small changes that are sustainable over the long term, like eating lean sources of protein and committing to a form of exercise that brings you joy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Obesity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Obesity isn\u2019t just being overweight \u2014 it\u2019s a medical condition where excess body fat accumulates to the point that it can harm your health. A person with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher is typically considered to have obesity. A doctor or other health care provider may also use waist circumference to diagnose obesity.<\/p>\n<p>While changes in the functioning of our metabolism can contribute to weight gain as we age, obesity can affect anyone, even children, teens and young adults. Approximately forty percent of U.S. adults and 21 percent of youth live with obesity, according to a <a title=\"https:\/\/www.tfah.org\/report-details\/state-of-obesity-report-2025\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tfah.org\/report-details\/state-of-obesity-report-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trust for America&#8217;s Health report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Those living with obesity are at greater risk for <a href=\"https:\/\/updates-www.mccdn.io\/services\/cancer-care\/diagnosis-evaluation\/colorectal-cancer\/\">colorectal cancer<\/a>; metabolic syndrome; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/obesity\/basics\/consequences.html#:~:text=Obesity%20in%20children%20and%20adults%20increases%20the%20risk,Joint%20problems%20such%20as%20osteoarthritis%20and%20musculoskeletal%20discomfort.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joint problems, such as osteoarthritis; Type 2 diabetes; gallbladder disease<\/a> and other conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRising obesity rates have their roots in the sedentary lifestyles we tend to lead now and the high proportion of processed foods that we eat,\u201d Dr. Gettel says. \u201cIt\u2019s important for people of all ages, including young adults, to be intentional about caring for their bodies by staying physically active and eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy protein sources.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>High blood pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Blood pressure refers to the amount of force your blood exerts on the walls of your arteries as it travels through them. When your blood pressure is consistently too high, it can lead to significant health problems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur bodies aren\u2019t meant to withstand high blood pressure for a long period of time,\u201d says Dr. Schuman. \u201cWhen left untreated, high blood pressure can cause kidney damage, up your risk for heart attacks and strokes, and increase the likelihood of developing structural heart abnormalities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/376\/bmj-2021-067924#:~:text=In%20the%20US%2C%2022.4%25%20of%20people%20aged%2018-39,mmHg%29.%202%20Various%20guidelines%20define%20young%20onset%20differently.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One study estimated that 22.4 percent of U.S. adults between the ages of 18 and 39<\/a> live with high blood pressure, yet it is common for the condition to go undiagnosed in this age group. Most people with high blood pressure don\u2019t have symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Monitoring your blood pressure at an annual checkup can help your provider catch this problem early. High blood pressure is typically treated through lifestyle changes as well as medications.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tips for supporting your long-term health<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Eating a nutritious diet and exercising regularly go a long way toward preventing chronic health conditions. But what does this look like in action for busy adults? Below is practical guidance you can implement in your daily life to support your health now and as you age.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus on fiber<\/strong>. Fiber is a critical nutrient \u2014 it lowers cholesterol, reduces inflammation, regulates blood sugar, supports regular bowel movements and enhances cardiovascular health. Yet only about <a href=\"https:\/\/nutrition.org\/most-americans-are-not-getting-enough-fiber-in-our-diets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">7 percent of U.S. adults have adequate fiber intake<\/a>. Fiber mainly comes from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and legumes, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietaryguidelines.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-03\/Dietary_Guidelines_for_Americans-2020-2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">daily recommendations vary according to age and sex<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince fiber mostly comes from plants, these foods need to be part of every meal,\u201d Dr. Gettel says. \u201cLow-carb, high-fiber wraps are a great way to increase your intake. You can also pack a lot of fruits and vegetables into smoothies, which are easy to consume on the go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read nutrition labels<\/strong>. Taking the time to evaluate nutrition labels can help you make informed choices about what you\u2019re eating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s shocking how much sodium and added sugar are in foods that are touted as \u2018healthy,\u2019\u201d says Dr. Gettel. \u201cAsk your doctor how to read nutrition labels at your next checkup if you aren\u2019t sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-eating\/eat-smart\/nutrition-basics\/understanding-food-nutrition-labels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also read this quick guide from the American Heart Association<\/a> about what to look for in a nutrition label and why.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Move your body<\/strong>. Staying active throughout the day is important for keeping our bodies functioning the way they\u2019re supposed to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExercise doesn\u2019t have to be really intense to be beneficial \u2014 all movement counts,\u201d Dr. Schuman says. \u201cI am a big proponent of taking three 10-minute walks a day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make small, sustainable changes<\/strong>. While maintaining a healthy weight is important, how you go about it is just as critical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the worst things you can do for your health is overly restrict calories to lose weight and then gain it all back a few months later,\u201d says Dr. Schuman. \u201cInstead, focus on small changes that are sustainable over the long term, like eating lean sources of protein and committing to a form of exercise that brings you joy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the early years of adulthood, we may not think much about our health unless an issue arises.
