Beer Belly, Metabolic Syndrome and Heart Attack
47 million of you have Metabolic Syndrome, a condition that includes a beer
belly, high blood pressure, poor cholesterol readings and high blood sugar.
Dr. Earl Ford of the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta thinks that overeating
and lack of exercise are probably the most important factors.
Metabolic Syndrome greatly increases your risk of diabetes, heart attacks and
stroke.
The disorder has an excessive amount of abdominal fat as well as elevated blood
pressure, blood sugar and triglycerides and low levels of HDL - the good cholesterol.
Metabolic syndrome is present according to the NIH definition if a patient
has 3 or more symptoms, a waist measuring at least 40 inches for men, and 35
inches for women, levels of triglyceride fats of at least 150 mg per deciliter,
HDL levels of less than 40 mgs in men and less than 50 mgs in women, blood pressure
of at least 135/80 and blood sugar of at least 110 mgs.
If you fall into this category - you definitely have to read the "7
