MS is a cluster of conditions that occur together, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. These conditions include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels.  It’s all a syndrome caused by bad habits. Metabolic Syndrome can be reversed!!

Five signs of metabolic syndrome:

A large waist: Waist size: Men greater than 40 inches, women greater than 35 inches

A high triglyceride level

Reduced HDL or “good” cholesterol. Men’s HDL less than 40, women HDL less than 50

Increased blood pressure: Levels 130/85 mm Hg or higher

Elevated fasting blood sugar

Just a 5-10% reduction in weight can help reduce metabolic syndrome. Walking 30 minutes, 5 times a week can also help. 

Obesity is a risk factor for Covid and hospitalization! Nutrition is not as talked about to avoid chronic diseases but is a huge issue related to disease and the costs of medical care. If you have fat you can see, then you have visceral fat which is fat around your organs. 

1 out of 7 Americans has metabolic syndrome. 30-40% of people that are in the normal range on the BMI index, still have metabolic syndrome. The best way to reverse metabolic syndrome is to be active, make good choices, eat healthily, etc.
