There's a new word for not taking care of yourself - Metabolic Syndrome. If you are over 40, have an expanding waistline, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, poor diet, not enough exercise, high blood sugar (pre-diabetic), then you have this condition!
However, there is also a recent anti aging supplement that has proven helpful with metabolic syndrome.
Here are the symptoms:
- An expanding waistline (35 inches for women, 40 inches for men)
- A BMI (Base Metabolic Rate) of over 25
- Triglyceride level over 150
- A low HDL (good cholesterol) level
- Blood pressure over 130/85
- Higher than normal blood glucose level
Metabolic syndrome has different elements, so having just one element doesn't necessarily mean you have it. But if you have any 3 of the above conditions, you may be at risk.
Here's the bad news:
You're at risk for getting a heart attack or stroke - sooner than later.
You're at risk for getting diabetes.
You're among 25% of Americans with this condition.
There Is Good News
YOU can fix it.
Easy? Probably not. It requires a major lifestyle change. Diet and exercise should be first on your list of lifestyle changes.
For diet this means eating fewer calories and less saturated fat, and emphasizing whole grains, fish, and fruits and vegetables. Choose unsaturated fats when eating fats and oils such as olive or safflower oils, and nuts.
If you haven't exercised in a while, you should start with about 30 minutes of brisk walking, 5 days per week. Work up to getting 60 minutes of moderate activity 5 to 7 days a week.
More Good News:
If you need help reducing that expanding waistline (visceral fat), there's something new that may work for you. It actually has been approved by the FDA as a new "dietary supplement".This new supplement is actually used as an anti aging antioxidant and has also been used in cosmetics! After some clinical trials, it was discovered that people that took the new supplement along with exercising, lost visceral fat twice as fast and those people that exercised without the supplement.
So here's the bad news: you still have to diet and exercise.
However, it's great to know that there's something out there to help you get results twice as fast - and it's perfectly safe. It's made from Lychee Fruit Extract and Green Tea Extract. And it has other great anti aging benefits, too.
