Introduction
Metabolic syndrome is an enigma – it is not a disease in itself but is a medical ‘condition’ which is determined if a grouping of specific underlying conditions is present.
Metabolic syndrome (MetS), equally known as insulin resistance syndrome, is a cluster of conditions characterized by excessive weight, high blood sugar, high triglyceride levels, high blood pressure, and low HDL cholesterol (also known as ‘the good cholesterol’).
A medically confirmed combination of three of these health conditions happening simultaneously will result in a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome.
Metabolic syndrome puts a person at a greater risk of developing dreadful cardiovascular sickness like heart disease and stroke, as well as type 2 diabetes and some cancers.
It should be readily apparent that all of the contributing conditions have a common cause. They are all the result of what has come to be termed ‘lifestyle disease’.
That is, they have all come about through excessive consumption of foods and food types that are not conducive to our health. Combined with lifestyles that include insufficient exercise, our bodies develop multiple issues of ill-health and dis-ease, including those that contribute to a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome.
Being diagnosed with metabolic syndrome means a person has checked too many boxes of lifestyle diseases. This is a cluster of conditions that are each dangerous in themselves, and collectively, much, much worse.
This eBook explains what metabolic syndrome is, why it is so dangerous, and thankfully, how it can be naturally prevented and even reversed.
