Functional nutrition for vascular and metabolic health in clinical practice

Blood pressure, blood sugar, and lipid health are easily overlooked in their twenties or thirties. Still, if blood pressure is high in the normal range or metabolic abnormalities persist, microstructure damage could accumulate little by little in all organs receiving blood supply, with changes in vascular endothelial cells. Daily vascular health care can be very important for overall health throughout life, and cardiometabolic health management is necessary for anyone, whether early or late. Understanding and utilizing clinical nutrition via functional medicine can also be an essential starting point for cardiovascular and metabolic health management. Furthermore, harmonious management through functional medicine's care and conventional medicine's control can have additional health benefits from a preventive perspective.
