Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome, How your Heart work for Quality Life

"Insulin is like a 'key' that unlocks the cell wall allowing the passage of nutrients, but there comes a time that leaves open the 'doors' that allow the passage of sugar inside cells and stays in the bloodstream. This phenomenon is known as insulin resistance or insulin resistance, and is the source of dysfunction syndrome. "

The insulin resistance is the beginning of a domino effect, since glucose is converted into fat (triglycerides or standby power) that travels in the blood, while the excess fat in the body produces elevated low-density lipoprotein, better known as "bad" cholesterol (LDL). The increase of these substances or dyslipidemia gives rise to clusters or cover material hardens veins and arteries (atherosclerosis).

Moreover, genetic factors, poor stress management and narrowing of blood lines make the heart work harder to pump blood, so the pressure on the walls of veins and arteries increases, giving rise to hypertension.

The passage of time and lack of preventive measures make this situation worse and, depending on each person's body, some of these problems will become more noticeable and condition the emergence of major diseases.

Thus, when the exertion of depletes the pancreas produce insulin diabetes is diagnosed, while rupture of blood vessels in heart or brain, from the high rate of fat and favored by high blood pressure, may cause myocardial infarction and accident stroke. Similarly, when the most affected organ is the kidney, we present inability to filter blood (kidney failure) to some degree.

Diagnosis and treatment
Fortunately, such an unfavorable outlook for the future can be reversed when diagnosis and treatment. Thus, it is important to know the symptoms of metabolic syndrome and learn to recognize to prevent severe damage to the quality of life:
* Abdominal obesity. Is set when the measurement of the waist circumference is greater than 102 centimeters and 88 centimeters in men and women.
* High blood pressure, i.e., 130/85 or greater.
* High level of fasting glucose above 110 milligrams per deciliter (mg / dl).
* Enhanced levels of triglycerides, i.e. above 150 mg / dl.
* Low levels of "good" cholesterol (HDL), we consider values below 40 mg / dl in men and 50 mg / dl in women.

The insulin resistance syndrome is diagnosed when you have three forms, but due to the difficulty of knowing some of them, the specialist advises everyone to take the waistline and, if they meet or exceed the indicated parameters, go to physician (internist, endocrinologist, nutritionist) to conduct specialized studies and initiate preventive treatment.

"We know that we have genetic predisposition to diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and that we can not change, but also found that, despite this, follow appropriate and timely action is enough to stop the progression of this problem that affects both our people. "

Therefore, the recommendation of the specialist is in compliance with specific points that have proven their effectiveness:
I. Aerobic exercise. Running, dancing, cycling or sports require intense set of lungs and heart, while increasing the working capacity of the circulatory system and regulate fat levels, glucose and blood pressure. For practical purposes, is estimated to be enough walking for 45 minutes daily.
II. Improving nutrition. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that only 30% or less of total food consumed is of animal origin, giving preference to fat-free meat, fish or poultry, and instead increase the number of grains, fruits and vegetables in the diet. Any doubts must be consulted a nutritionist to get best results.
III. Losing weight. The benefits derived from abdominal fat loss are notable not only in reducing harmful cholesterol in blood, but it is known that blood pressure improvement.
IV. Obeying doctor's orders. It is essential that if you have established the use of a drug administration to follow the letter, and also to eradicate harmful substances for the circulation and the functioning of insulin, in particular, alcohol and snuff.

The importance of addressing this problem is time on two grounds: "first, because diabetes, hypertension and stroke has a high social cost, to the extent that this attention absorbed 25% of the budget, above all, because the metabolic syndrome, even in its early stages, significantly increases the probability of death due to circulatory system problems."

Finally, "obesity and metabolic syndrome should be referred to as diseases that are incurable, but manageable. With down from 5% to 10% of usual body weight lowers blood pressure, improves fat profile and sugar, as insulin is increased and reduces the likelihood of blockage or rupture of blood vessels. Education, nutrition and exercise are the tools we have, so we have to implement them. "
