The Metabolic Syndrome Diet: Robert H James - illustrator - Paperback

by Robert H. James (Author), Lynne D. M. Noble (Author)

Metabolic Syndrome affects approximately one in four of individuals. It is a syndrome because it is a cluster of signs symptoms that occur together and increase your risk for stroke, diabetes and heart disease.These include abdominal obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. If the individual does not attempt to reverse metabolic syndrome then this can progress to diabetes, a systemic disorder that impacts every part of the body.The solution to metabolic syndrome is to lose weight but this is easier said than done. Much of the advice that we are given such as exercise and eat more fruit can actually be counterproductive. There are good scientific reasons for this and these will be explained in the book so that you are informed and can take steps to change the way that you eat.The whole idea about addressing the root cause of metabolic syndrome is to make it something that is doable for everyone so nothing is banned and, in fact, some foods that you thought might be, are in fact encouraged.Medications are often prescribed to deal with the conditions that contribute to a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Many of these medications not only cause weight gain but cause worse effects than the reason why the medication was prescribed in the first place.A fantastic book that will turn everything you ever thought you knew about dieting, on its head.
