 Men
experiencing heart disease symptoms caused by Insulin
Resistance-related Metabolic Syndrome and aged around 50 are
more likely to suffer from vascular dementia in their late 70s,
according to a report presented to the American Academy of
Neurology (1).
Additionally, some studies have examined the relationship
between Metabolic Syndrome and psychological risk factors such
as depression, anxiety, tension, current perceived stress and
anger. Researchers concluded that there was a reciprocal
association between anger and Metabolic Syndrome (2). In other
words, each side of the equation had an effect on the other –
those with Metabolic Syndrome were more likely to experience
depression, anxiety, tension etc. and those who were depressed,
anxious, stressed, etc. were more likely to develop Metabolic
Syndrome.
The exact interaction of these conditions is unclear and it’s
still part of a complex neurobiological jigsaw puzzle that
scientists continue to study. Early data suggests, however, that
Alzheimer's patients showed improved memory after an infusion of
insulin, which speaks to the role of glucose metabolism in the
physiology of dementia.
Women
with Type 2 Diabetes, who have twice the risk of developing
depression, showed marked improvement in depressive instances
when they received education and treatment for Insulin and
Metabolic Syndrome (3).

is scientifically-designed reverse Metabolic Syndrome — a condition often linked to mental disorders. The system
includes numerous formulations, including InsulX, which, among
other ingredients, includes chromium to balance glucose and insulin
levels in the blood stream to aid weight loss, reduce hypertension (high blood pressure) and prevent damage
to blood vessels, which can increase the risk of mental disorders.
