Everyone knows that keeping their weight under control is important to good health, but now the ?location? of fat on a person?s frame, along with other factors, matters too. Physicians understand that all fat is not created equal ? especially as it relates to the dangers of developing metabolic syndrome.
This syndrome is a group of abnormal findings all related to the body?s metabolism. It?s closely linked to a specific metabolic problem called ?insulin resistance.? Insulin resistance develops when the body?s ability to use insulin to control the amount of sugar in the blood is impaired.
Experts agree that it?s not just about telling overweight people to lose weight, it?s about identifying people with insulin resistance. When people develop insulin resistance, their insulin level goes up and their glucose goes up, too. Both glucose and insulin are dangerous when too high.
Those diagnosed with metabolic syndrome are actually dealing with several disorders with their metabolism at the same time, including obesity (especially around the waist), high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels and a resistance to insulin.
