What is Metabolic Syndrome?
Characterized as the “epidemic of the century,” Metabolic Syndrome is also known as Syndrome X or the “Deadly Quartet.” It is usually associated with being overweight.
Metabolic Syndrome is a medical disorder characterized by at least two of these four marker symptoms:
Overweight or Obese: Particularly with fat sitting around the midsection. This resistant fat is known as visceral fat as it concentrates around our central organs, dangerous particularly for heart health.
Elevated Blood sugar: This can lead to pre-diabetes and Type II Diabetes. If not managed over time, it can damage organs and tissues, and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, nerve damage, and vision loss.
High Cholesterol: Can form deposits called plaque, which can cause an artery to become narrowed or blocked. If a plaque ruptures, a blood clot can form.
High Blood Pressure: Creates increased risk of Cardiovascular disease, heart failure, kidney disease, and vision loss. Hardening and stiffening of arteries can restrict blood flow to vital organs.
