Twenty-seven Percent of Americans Have Metabolic Syndrome
It’s now estimated that 55 million Americans have metabolic syndrome; however, if you’re like most Americans, you may not have ever heard of the syndrome much less understand how it increases your risk of heart disease and stroke. Metabolic syndrome actually is a cluster of disorders, all of which are affected by both genetics and lifestyle. If you have three or more of the following, you considered as having metabolic syndrome:

· High triglyceride levels
· High blood pressure
· Elevated fasting blood sugar levels
· Low HDL cholesterol levels (the good cholesterol)
There are no specific symptoms of metabolic syndrome, but it takes a toll on health. People with metabolic syndrome are 3.5 times more likely to die of a heart-related ailment and 5 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

DR. RECOMMENDED, Mar 21 2006
By Jeffrey A. Battani "AHEADHUNTER" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Overcoming Metabolic Syndrome (Paperback)
I WOULD RATHER READ A GOOD FICTION BOOK BUT MY DOCTOR RECOMMENDED I PURCHASE A BOOK ON THIS SUBJECT SINCE I WAS A POSTER CHILD CANDIDATE AND MET ALL OF THE CRITERIA FOR THE DISEASE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE CHOICES ON AMAZON I CHOSE THIS ONE. ACTUALLY THE REVIEWS ALREADY ON AMAZON ABOUT THE BOOK WERE MY GUIDE. IT GETS RIGHT TO THE POINT IN LAYMAN TERMS. I HAVE GAINED AN EXCELLENT UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT SYNDROME X IS AND HOW TO PREVENT IT FROM KILLING ME PREMATURELY.THIS BOOK IS A MUST FOR SOMEONE WHO GETS BORED WITH HUGE MEDICAL EXPLANATIONS AND SCIENTIFIC TERMINOLOGY. ITS SUMMERIZES THE SUBJECT WHERE IT NEEDS TO AND GETS IN DEPTH WHEN IT NEEDS TO BUT GETS THE MESSAGE ACROSS VERY COMPLETELY AND BEST OF ALL CONCISELY
