Metabolic syndrome affects more people than you might think.
WHO IS AFFECTED BY METABOLIC SYNDROME
Women and men with sarcopenia of the lower limbs and sometimes the upper limbs. This overweight affects the abdominal circumference of both men and women, increasing their cardiovascular risk. These cardiovascular risks can be assessed by measuring the ultra-sensitive C-reactive protein in the blood. Cardiovascular risk is directly related to increased abdominal circumference in both women (>84cm) and men (>94cm).
Arterial hypertension also sets in, with a drop in HDL cholesterol and a rise in triglycerides. All this develops in conjunction with a diet rich in carbohydrates: bread, pasta, sugars, rice, sweets, etc.
The problem at the root of these disorders is hyperinsulinism. Everyone talks about blood sugar, but they've forgotten the hormone that controls blood sugar: INSULIN.
Insulin increases the inflammation pathway, and inflammation increases the insulin pathway. In other words, inflammation and insulin create a vicious circle in the body, which is difficult to break out of naturally without the help of nutritional and functional biology.
Insulin resistance and reduced sensitivity to this hormone thus set in, creating all these problems in the person who develops it, in the low-key, metabolic syndrome. Inflammation has its origins in metabolic endotoxemia, otherwise known as intestinal hyperpermeability, accompanied by high levels of gram-negative bacteria (LPS) and enterohepatic signals of inflammation due to intestinal permeability. Inflammatory signals are also triggered by adipocytes (body fat stores) and muscles. In short, a catastrophe.
All these factors cause the person's insulin levels to rise little by little, but as no one is interested in testing them, no one sees the problem and no one sees the patient's morphological changes (slimming legs and arms or fat taking the place of muscle, increase in abdominal size without any increase in weight, for example). Blood sugar levels rise over the years, and after 10 or 15 years of low-level inflammation and hyperinsulinemia, the healthcare professional diagnoses you with diabetes. BRAVO! IT'S ABOUT TIME WE SAW IT! But since our healthcare system is only interested in insuring your illness (health insurance, for example), all the healthcare professionals who have seen you in their offices have waited until you were ill, until you had developed irreversible metabolic pathways (glycation, oxidative stress and glycation with the production of AGEs, for example) before treating you. All because prevention doesn't make money. So they prefer to let you "die" slowly, waiting for the sweet moment when you'll become the perfect puppet to fill their pockets for the rest of your life and for the rest of your days. Do you think this is fair?
Of course, this so-called "healthThe so-called "health system" assures you that you'll be taken care of as soon as you're sick. But metabolic syndrome is not included in their health insurance protocols, so they're missing the point. Precious years of primary treatment (i.e. pre-diagnosis) have gone by. Precious years of reversible management have gone too. Don't be so blind: it's not by chance, it's all planned, otherwise how can they justify their existence? No molecule=no money. Prevention=improvements, happy people who evolve in their personal and family lives. This infuriates the pharmaceutical industry, because you don't make them any money.
It's time to stop waiting for the state to take care of you with its protocol-based health insurance formula. Use nutritional and functional biology to prevent metabolic syndrome and the development of other chronic diseases. Take charge! The key is in you!
