Metabolic Syndrome
The 5 subtle but deadly signs of disease coming:
- high blood pressure
- High total cholesterol
- High LDL/low HDL cholesterol
- high blood sugar
- Overweight
These 5 signs make up a condition known as Metabolic Syndrome.
The more of these signs you have the greater the chance of dying of heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease. The risk is exponential not additive. These account for 90% of all deaths in America.
- high blood pressure
- Major cause of high blood pressure is a diet of saturated fats (animal products), kidney and liver toxicity (from toxins in the air, water and food), the body trying to rebalance itself by raising the pressure to move out the toxins. This is why blood pressure medication is never the answer long term.
- high cholesterol
- The major cause of high cholesterol is a toxic overworked liver, this comes from the chemicals and toxins from the food, air (33 chemicals in common house dust promote breast cancer) and water.
- Cholesterol is good and bad. Good if your liver makes it, bad if it comes from cooked toxic animal products.
- high blood sugar
- This is caused by a diet of cooked starches and refined sugars. This leads to an increase of all disease especially diabetes, cardiovascular, immune/autoimmune diseases and cancer.
- Overweight
- Extra weight predisposes one to a greater risk of all disease from heart to cancer to diabetes to everything else.
Signs of metabolic syndrome (also known as Syndrome X) include obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high levels of blood glucose, high blood insulin levels, and high levels of triglycerides.
Metabolic syndrome is defined as the simultaneous presence of at least three of theses five metabolic abnormalities
Approximately 25 percent of the U.S. adult population has Metabolic Syndrome and it increases with age. When you have people over 40, it's as many as 40 percent, it is the new epidemic.
Metabolic Syndrome in obese children is also becoming an epidemic.
