It is now estimated that 55 million Americans have metabolic syndrome; however, if you are like most Americans, you may not have ever heard of the syndrome much less understand how it increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. Metabolic syndrome actually is a cluster of disorders, all of which are affected by both genetics and lifestyle. If you have three or more of the following, you considered as having metabolic syndrome: A waistline of 40 inches or more for men and 35 inches or more for women; High triglyceride levels; High blood pressure; Elevated fasting blood sugar levels; Low HDL cholesterol levels (the good cholesterol). There are no specific symptoms of metabolic syndrome, but it takes a toll on health. People with metabolic syndrome are 3.5 times more likely to die of a heart-related ailment and 5 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes. The good news is that you can overcome this deadly syndrome. The authors -- an endocrinologist and a cardiovascular surgeon -- have treated thousands of patients; they know how to cut through the confusion and give you the basics about how you can restore your health. Among the questions they answer: How do I know if I have metabolic syndrome? What is insulin resistance? Why is it a critical issue? Why does insulin resistance make it so hard to lose weight? What is the role of exercise, diet, and nutrition? Which medications are used to treat the syndrome? A Clear and Simple Guide to Better Health!
