"I think it is very important for younger people to realize they can use this product and get help before it becomes a really BIG problem. I started your product and found it really boosts my system, helping me get off ground zero, and stop the spiral downwards. It gave me the energy to start exercising and prepare healthy meals." -  Anna   Perth, Australia To reverse Metabolic Syndrome (also called Syndrome X) and its increased risk of a heart disease or stroke, you must first address the disorder's symptoms like hypertension (high blood pressure). A root cause is of Metabolic Syndrome is Insulin Resistance. If left unchecked, both conditions can lead to damage being inflicted on your cardiovascular system, leading to heart disease. Since obesity is usually a key component of Metabolic Syndrome, getting your weight under control is the next step. A low-carbohydrate diet has proved to be effective in not only weight loss programs but also in helping to control the production of insulin in the pancreas. But keep in mind that lean men and women can also have Metabolic Syndrome. Another key factor in heart disease prevention is a low cholesterol diet. Exercise is a necessary component of dealing with the symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome. Exercise increases the insulin sensitivity, boosts metabolism, burns calories, raises HDL "good" cholesterol, lowers LDL "bad" cholesterol and helps to balance the level of glucose and insulin in the blood stream. Choose a balanced, healthy diet that doesn’t include foods with a high glycemic index (GI), like bread, pasta, rice, refined sugars, potatoes and corn. Skip artificial sweeteners which can raise glucose and insulin levels. Avoid stimulants like caffeine, alcohol and tobacco. Even over-the-counter cold and flu medications can contain stimulants, causing spikes in insulin production and release. Your doctor may need to address collateral issues such as hypertension (high blood pressure) or high cholesterol issues with medication until they come under control naturally with your weight loss.
