5 Conditions Linked With Metabolic Syndrome

Thursday, August 21, 2014 4:48

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Look at the checklist below and make note if you have any of the follow conditions:

High Triglycerides – 150 mg/dL or more.
Low HDL Cholesterol – below 40 mg/dL for men and below 50 mg/dL for women.
Abdominal Obesity – a waist circumference of 40” or more for men and 35” or more for women.
High Blood Pressure – 130/85 or higher (or if you are taking high blood pressure medication).
Elevated Fasting Blood Sugar – 100 mg/dL or more.

If you checked off three or more of these conditions, you have what is called “metabolic syndrome.” Those with metabolic syndrome are at a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases including plaque buildup in the arteries, stroke, and heart attack.

The association of metabolic syndrome and increased risked of cardiovascular disease is confirmed with research from the Pritikin Center for Longevity reporting that one out of four adults, or 64 million Americans, have metabolic syndrome, and the Centers for Disease Control stating one out of four deaths in the United States is caused by coronary disease.

Most often, metabolic syndrome is a result of being overweight, physically inactive, eating a large proportion of calories from simple carbohydrates, and is a result of our lifestyle choices.

This is the good news – we can reduce our risk of cardiovascular diseases by making some better lifestyle choices. It may be difficult to make all the lifestyle changes as once, so tackle one at a time if that works better for you.

Lower triglycerides by limiting alcohol consumption, avoid white flour products, limit sugar to 4 teaspoons a day or less, and begin walking – even beginning at 10 minutes a day helps.
