Metabolic Syndrome and the epidemics of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and dementia
The key to losing weight healthfully and lowering the risk of diabetes, elevated blood pressure, and heart disease is to understand the concept of ‘insulin resistance’ and the ‘metabolic syndrome’, now referred to as 'pre-diabetes.'
When we eat foods that cause our blood sugar to rapidly increase and then fall suddenly due to the release of insulin from the pancreas gland, we create a spike in blood sugar that inflames our circulatory system. If repeated over and over, month after month, year after year, scientists now tell us that we develop an insulin resistance that is considered the major risk factor for obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, colon,breast, prostate cancer, and Alzheimer's.
By incorporating a healthy lifestyle of low-glycemic foods which stabilizes blood sugar, moderate consistent exercise and the correct nutritional supplement program, we can prevent and even reverse this insulin resistance, lose weight healthfully and reduce significantly the risk of major illnesses that might otherwise occur.
