How to Fix Metabolic Syndrome

Written by Susan Fox, Health Writer

The term “Metabolic Syndrome” is sometimes used as a catch-all label to describe people who are overweight.

But it’s actually a group of conditions that can increase your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Most people with metabolic syndrome share several common cardiovascular risk factors that commonly cluster together.

Metabolic syndrome occurs when a person has three or more of the following:

High blood pressure (>130/85 mmHg)
High blood sugar levels (fasting glucose >100 mg/dl)
High triglyceride levels (≥1.7 mmol/L)
Low HDL levels (good cholesterol (<1.30 -1.04 mmol/L)
Overweight and Obesity
Excess belly fat (waist circumference ≥35 – 40 inches)

Metabolic syndrome, sometimes called Syndrome X or insulin resistance syndrome, affects 47 million Americans and is marked by elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess belly fat and unhealthy levels of either LDL (low-density lipoprotein, or ”bad” cholesterol) or triglycerides.

As mentioned, metabolic syndrome boosts your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes.

While all people with metabolic syndrome have insulin resistance, not all people with insulin resistance have metabolic syndrome.

The underlying causes of metabolic syndrome include obesity, physical inactivity, genetic factors, and aging.

Is metabolic syndrome inevitable? No!

Maintaining a healthy body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels reduce your risk for metabolic syndrome.

But, what’s most crucial is to maintain a healthy weight.

Metabolic Syndrome Diet

There is a powerful association among metabolic syndrome, low energy, and poor nutrition. So if you need to lose weight, why not get started now?

Set your goals for a healthy weight and then select a proven nutrition plan. Don’t waste your time and hard-earned money on those pound-watching and fast-slimming diets, as they’re loaded with cheap fats, gums and artificial ingredients. Choose the healthy Almased plan with a low glycemic, high protein diet.

You'll come to love eating whole-quality foods that include veggies, fruits, lean meats, and plant proteins, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds.

There are four easy phases to follow on the Almased Figure Plan, from accelerated weight loss to routine weight maintenance.

Each phase involves drinking an Almased shake as a meal replacement or snack to support your everyday nutrition.

A study published in the journal of Nutrition in 2014 showed that the Almased "meal replacement regimen improved blood glucose levels.

We know that a healthy diet and physical activity can help improve metabolic health, which is important for anybody who is concerned about diabetes.
