Obesity is a huge problem in the world at large. With metabolic syndrome, hormonal imbalances occur, which often leads to the appearance of an excessive amount of fat in the most problematic places (on the waist and abdomen). Another symptom of the disease is the body's loss of sensitivity to insulin, as a result of which glucose is no longer absorbed.
Why is this happening
There is a certain group of people who are susceptible to the disease. It includes smokers, drinkers, genetically predisposed to overweight people who pollute their body with malnutrition, and individuals with low physical activity. To identify the disease, the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome is carried out. It includes the delivery of blood tests, and if necessary, an ECG, an ultrasound of the heart, a measurement of glucose strictly by the clock.
Disaster awaits you
Disruption of metabolic processes entails a lot of trouble that can lead to a heart attack or stroke. Excess weight is the main problem in metabolic syndrome. It lies in the fact that excess fatsurround the internal organs, because of which they cannot function normally. The inability of the organs to perform their functions in full causes an increase in blood pressure. Symptoms of vascular atherosclerosis appear: weakness, fatigue, memory loss.
The main medicine is in yourself
Medications given for metabolic syndrome will not work unless the person makes lifestyle changes. Everyone is able to heal himself, for this you need:
• stop smoking and drinking;
• observe nutritional norms;
• introduce physical activity into the daily routine on an ongoing basis;
• do not overexert the nervous system.
Dietary recommendations
A calorie-reduced diet and exercise are the most beneficial. The introduced principle of nutrition must be applied on an ongoing basis, otherwise a relapse of the disease will occur. With metabolic syndrome, the features of the diet are as follows:
1. The selection of products is based on their calorie content (up to 30 kcal per 1 kg of normal body weight).
2. Weight loss is gradual, a sharp jump is harmful to the body.
3. The consumption of food, which contains animal fats, is minimized.
4. Increase protein and complex carbohydrate foods in the diet.
5. When choosing meat, milk, cottage cheese and dairy products, preference is given to low-fat varieties.
6. A day you can eat no more than 200 g of berries, fruits, potatoes, carrots, beetsand bread.
7. You can eat vegetables that contain fiber in unlimited quantities.
8. The frying process is replaced by steam cooking.
9. Tea, juices and compotes are used as drinks, but with a minimum amount of sugar.
When diagnosing "metabolic syndrome", the doctor's recommendations will be selected in accordance with the individual characteristics of the organism.
Physical activity should always be
Exercise does not have a specific system, you can do what works best. But the main feature is the gradual increase in load. If after six months the above methods do not give a result, then more effective drugs are prescribed, but they have a number of contraindications.
